Where is the transmission fluid return line, '91 940GLE

Post by bobbyz »

I just got a '91 940GLE with 115k miles on it.

The tranny fluid hasn't been changed over 20k miles, so I think it's a good idea to do it.
I found lots of info on this site and others on doing a tranny flush (drain pan, then flush through the tranny return line), but I couldn't find any pics of that return line.

I'm pretty handy in mechanics but it's the first time I handle a Volvo. Where can I find a pic showing the location of that line? I looked all around the radiator but saw nothing that comes from the tranny.

Thanks

Thanks for the diagram billofdurham!

Is the return line the upper or lower one on the cooler?
