Check it.
TCI says 1/4 pipe thread.
And if you forget which way the fluid is flowing on any trans.....looky!!

Yeah 1/4 sounds about right, I only ask beacause the truck is about half the country away right now and i just wanted to have the parts waiting for me when i get home.Quote:

Never go to the point to where they stop turning. That is when bad things happen. I would take a look at the link I provided. Those seem to be an easy solution and still use the factory fittings in the case. Just a thought. Vince
