I love it when I'm heading out on a trip, towing the trailer, and Gamora starts spewing transmission fluid, requiring me to end the trip and call a tow truck! So much fun....
OK, on this note.... I added an auxiliary transmission cooler to the X. The fluid appears to be leaking from either the connection out of the radiator (going to the cooler) or where we connected the cooler output to the OEM return line.

I'm going to be buying new better hose clamps today, but my major question is this:

When we're testing to make sure it's not leaking anymore, if we put the transmission in neutral, and Rev the engine, would anything inside the transmission be moving? Basically, if the transmission is in neutral, is that the safest way to test thing if it's low on fluid?

Some transmissions don't send fluid through the cooler lines in neutral. Not sure about the 1st Gens
