Default Help, where is the transmission fluid return hose to the radiator?

Thanks in advance to your help.

I am going to do a transmission fluid flush/exchange myself. I have read some post about the work. It sounds pretty easy by disconnecting the transmission fluid return hose from the radiator and drain the fluid from the radiator port by connecting a piece of tube to the port, and the tube goes to the drain pan.

My question is where is the trans fluid return hose to the radiator. Is it in front of radiator, or under it, or behind it? Can you see it from the top after open the hood?

There are two lines (metal) that attach to your radiator for the trans, the return pipe is the upper one if I recall correctly and it's behind the radiator. The easiest way to disconnect them is from beneath the car.

Hope that helped.
