What is the cooling fluid that goes back to the transmission?
The 2 lines that come from the transmission and go to the radiator are full of transmission fluid and the radiator is what cools it.

if you have an automatic transmission there should be cooling lines going to the radiator to cool the transmission fluid the lines could be leaking or the tank could be leaking
What lines are under the radiator on chevy vans?
Vehicles with an automatic transmission may have lines that carry transmission fluid from the transmission to a separate tank on the bottom of the radiator.
How can you replace the lines that carry transmission fluid to the transmission?
if you are asking about the cooling lines for the transmission that connect to the radiator, its easy. first disconnect the lines from the radiator (2 lines, usually on the bottom opposite the radiator outlet) then disconnect the lines from the transmission. remove the brackets holding them on, then remove.
Do you need to bleed transmission lines on Dakota with 4.7?
No, just check the fluid level with it running in park and the lines will self bleed.
Will the transmission fluid of the radiator be drained when you drain the fluid on the transmission?
Most of the ATF will remain in the trans cooler and lines unless you have the transmission force flushed by a trans shop.
If a 92 Saturn SL2 is leaking transmission fluid and antifreeze from the transmission cooling line can you replace the lines or tighten nuts or do you have to replace the radiator?
I had a similar problem and ended up replacing both the lines and the radiator.

What is the right way to put transmission lines back on radiator?
It doesn't matter which way the lines go back on as long as your not putting too much stress on them. The transmission fluid can flow through the radiator in either direction.
How does trans fluid get into radiator?
You will notice two lines going to your radiator from the transmission. One is a service line and one is a return line. The radiator has a transmission cooler built into it. If you have trans fluid in the radiator chances are the trans cooler is leaking. A little trans fluid in the radiator will not affect engine cooling BUT as soon as the pressure drops in that transmission you may very well have radiator coolant sucked into the tranmission and that will ruin a transmission in a hurry. You need to get this checked out as soon as possible.
What causes the transmission fluid to leak into the radiator?
I would say its a bad radiator are you sure its tranny fluid and not motor oil, in which case you could have a blown head gasket? **correct answer** there should be a transmission cooler that allows transmission fluid to flow through your rad at some point, these lines, when they break, will let transmission fluid into your rad, it also lets coolant into the transmission, which can destroy your transmission.
