Default Transmission coolant lines

After connecting auto transmission coolant lines onto the radiator, do i need to bleed it through somehow or does the transmission just self prime through the radiator?

Thanks

Norman

Just hook it up. It will take care of any air in the system without any help.

Those cooler lines are pressurized. No need to do anything, if the trans has the right amount of fluid.

power steering and trans cooler is cooling the fluid after it has done it's work and is heading back to the reservoir or pan. engine oil is different. can only be cooled while under pressure before it has gotten to bearings, etc. that is why engine oil has to have the ability to handle high pressure and volume.
