No problem. The top line is the line that the fluid goes into the cooler. Then the bottom line goes back to the transmission with the cooler fluid.

I am attaching the info below on how to flush the cooler.

However, here is a guide that will help with checking the fluid which will need to be done after the flush plus how to service the unit:

Please see the details below from the manual on how to flush this and you will see the routing of the lines. The lower line will go to waste, but this is clearly showing the direction of flow.

Please let us know if you have any questions. Thanks
