Can someone tell me which line is the OUT from the transmission - I'm going to do a flush.

Well, mine is semi-opaque brown - not burnt smelling though. I put a can of Slick 50 trans conditioner, and apparently it broke up some sludge in it, so I want to do a full flush.

Dude, the red arrow that is pointed to is the output of the trans line. Thats the line i took out to do the flush from the torque converter.

The one with the Arrow pointing to it, not the line with red paint on it, is the output? Sorry, the thread was worded as a question, and I didn't see a "yes, that is the output" answer.
