TH350 fluid flow?

Could someone tell me please which way does the fluid flow in the cooling lines of the TH350. Is the top connection on the side of the transmission for the cooling lines flowing to or from the transmission? Thank you.

im pretty sure that your upper is your return to the tranny or atleast is my theory because of gravitys natural flow.

Fluid flow is against gravity to prevent aeration.

Re: TH350 fluid flow?

well since a couple of yall i see have done this th350 swap. i think ive gotten all my questions answered in other threads. except one thing, does the computer have berring on the 700r4 as far as the lock up? if it does how will this affect the new th350.? would appreciate an answer from someone that has succesfully done this swap and is done with it i guess. oh and i have a tpi setup, dont know if it makes the difference? thanks

The computer wouldn't know or care if you replaced the 700R4 with a TH350.

Re: TH350 fluid flow?

I wouldnt listen to them guys anymore, theirs not a single electric wire to hook up to the th350, make sure you hook up the kickdown cable and a vacuum line to the th350. Your engine wont know the difference.

No need for a kickdown on a TH350. Kickdown and TV cable are two different things.
