Nope, that one is already hooked up. The hard rusty metal line points downward and there is no way it could reach up to the TB

Well I have an aftermarket tranny cooler. I was thinking that's what it could be...The lines are all hooked up still I didn't disconnect them. Now I get it. that hose is bypassed by my B&M cooler.

even if you have an after market cooler you should run your trans fluid through you radiator in case you stuck in traffic your trans will still get cooled by your coolant

Although it never works like that. The trans fluid just gets hotter and hotter. Anyways, that the upper trans cooler line. If you're using an aftermarket one I would just plug that so it doesn't get crap in there.
