Trans Cooler Lines Location and Fittings

As with any new project you always seem to run into stuff that you knew at one time but forgot exactly where you found it or put it. Well, I was installing a trans cooler in my 54 and needed to know which lines were in and out. I also needed to fabricate new lines so I also needed the fitting sizes. So after some quick searching on the web this is what I came up with.

GM Trans Cooler Lines
Transmission	Line Size	Cooler Out	Cooler Return
Powerglide	1/8 NPT	Lower	Upper
Powerglide (Dedenbear)	1/4 NPT	Lower	Upper
TH200C Metric, 200R4	1/4 NPT	Upper	Lower
TH250/350/350C	1/8 NPT	Lower	Upper
TH400/700R4/4L60/4L60E/ 4L65E/4L80E(up to 97)	1/4 NPT	Lower	Upper
4L80E/4L85E(97 on)	1/4 NPT	Front	Rear
TH425			Outer - Farthest from the torque converter
4T80E		Main case

FORD Trans Cooler Lines
Transmission	Line Size	Cooler Out	Cooler Return
C3/C4/C5/C6/E40D	1/4 NPT	Front	Rear
AOD/FIOD	1/4 NPT	Upper	Lower
AODE/4R70W	1/4 NPT	Lower	Upper
ATX			Line nearest the pump
AXOD-E/A4XN/A4XS			Lower
E40D/4R100	1/4 NPT	Front	Rear
FMX			Rear

MoPar Trans Cooler Lines
Transmission	Line Size	Cooler Out	Cooler Return
All Torqueflites	1/8 NPT	Front	Rear
A500/518/618			Rear
A404/413/470/670			Upper

Build Note - This MoPar setup can be used on other trans. There is an in-line transmission filter that mounts along the side of the oil pan in front of the starter on 62/63 MoPars. There is no internal transmission filter in this version of the 727 Torqueflite, just a screen. The original Fram number was P1651PL, that crosses to Chrysler #2400124 and #J3168060 and GM #715102 and #5579826. A NAPA #4755 miscellaneous filter base and #1320 oil filter can be used instead with a bit of fabrication. A pair of brass elbow fittings to fit the inlet and outlet ports on the filter base will work as a substitute.
