at the radiator, which line is which? need to know which one sends and which one is return. I assume top sends and bottom returns, sicne it doesn't make much sense to try and push the fluid upward.
Am I right?

the radiator isn't that hot compared to the trans temps. besides, cold fluid is as bad as hot. typically, you install the cooler inline before the radiator trans cooler. That way it cools, then stabilizes the temps.

When I installed my aux ATF cooler, I was told by a trans shop locally it was the upper line to tap into as it's the return to the unit on this trans.
Hope that helps...
