Well me and my dad tried to install my tranny cooler today an we ran into a few problems. We have the cooler mounted but are confused as what to do now. I've searched tons of tranny cooler topics on various Mustang forums and I've found mixed responses. Exactly which line FROM the RADIATOR TO the TRANSMISSION is the RETURN line TO RETURN already cooled fluid back to the TRANSMISSION. Some people say the top line is the return back to the tranny and some say the top line is from the tranny to the cooler? I have a 2001 Mustang GT by the way. Also I want to run the cooler in sync with the stock radiator cooler so this is what I've done. We originally thought that the top line was the return so we left the bottom hard line attached to the radiator and unscrewed the top line. Then we ran a hose from the top of the radiator into the cooler. Then we ran the outlet hose on the cooler into the hard line that was originally attached to the top of the radiator. The thing is the threads do not start on the hard line for about 1/4 an inch so our compression fitting wont screw into it. Here's a pic to better explain it... Sorry for the long read.

Now to attach the rubber hose to the hard line I need to be able to screw a compression fitting on but it is not deep enough to accepct the threads. How did you guys do it?
