    I have a 2008 Tacoa, 4.0 automatic transmission WITHOUT tow package.

    Can please someone confirm the following:

    Lower line front transmission takes ATF to upper part of cooler
    And
    Bottom line from cooler brings the ATF back to the transmission using the upper transmission line.

    I am replacing my transmission cooler lines, everything is rusted shut , working in a small unheated garage, in Minnesota, with current tempeture of 20f, and I am getting over surgery of my broken wrist with plate in it and possibe nerve damage!!!

    I will not miss 2023...

    Thanks

    TnShooter,

    Thank you. I think I got it right. The only thing that thread did not address is the cooler. I think the hose at the bottom of the cooler returns the ATF back to the transmission. Can you confirm that please?
