The brass doodad from which that porous hose in the photo exits the hard line is the valve, and the flow there is toward the radiator. Then it's out of the radiator to the aux cooler, and from there back to the transmission where it falls into the pan.

 

Played with my free photo editor. Believe this is correct.

 

yes, but you forgot to draw a blue line down onto the radiator hose to indicate the leak. LOL. your diagram is correct.

 

Chewgoddit!

 

the easiest way to fix all that is to use a tubing cutter and cut the hard line just past check valve (pressure) and crimp ridge (return line). then remove/cut the hoses/fittings on the radiator, and replace it with 3/8 auto transmission hose with worm clamps.

 

Gotcha. Thats what I thought, I think...... I'm going to be doing this soon.

 

One VERY important tip about installing the remote filter.......DO NOT plumb it in backwards.

You will experience THIS:

Don't ask how I know.....

 

wow, that looks really expensive and like a time consuming pita !!!!

 

I would guess that it would be about a $300 mistake.....not that I KNOW.....that's my story and I'm sticking to it.....

And I have a well used extension housing that I would sell cheap....

 

That's a sound piece of advice right there. Though mine got plumbed backward by the wrench monkeys at Drive Line Service of Las Vegas, the folks who sell the Transfer Case Saver, and it showed me that my Trans Temp light works, I got away with it. I just swapped the lines around, and went back the next day to let them change my ATF at their expense. The Mega Viper is still going strong 15,000 miles later so I seem to have got away for cheap.
