Where in the line is the check ball located? I traced the lines from the trans to the radiator and can't seem to find it. Also what does it look like?



Below is a pic of the check valve line; top is factory original, bottom is replacement.

The factory installed the check valve to prevent the cooler from draining back into the transmission through the converter. In older days the cooler was mounted in the bottom radiator tank near the level of the transmission but the newer crossflow radiators with side tanks place the cooler above the level of the transmission.

Removing the check valve might require placing the shifter in Neutral for the first start of the day.



Hmm, this may explain my wife's 05 Ram's trans. Take it a bit to get going when you put it in gear. Bet the check valve is stuck open letting the converter drain back. So, where does one get the "good" check valve?

They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.
