Little confused, could anybody tell me which way is the right way, this thread I think is shown as figure #2

would it mess anything up if the auxiliary lines was installed backwards?

When you look at it, it should be self-explanatory upper & lower. You do NOT want to install them backwards or incorrectly. It flows in one direction.

Just dont want to mess it up, Ive got the B&M cooler mounted vertical like this thread, just havent tapped into the top tranny oem lines,
so which figure is the correct one??

The OEM upper line is the return to the transmission. That's the one you want to tap into for the aux cooler. That way the hot fluid leaves the transmission, goes through the OEM cooler, then through the aux cooler, and the cooled fluid goes back to the transmission.

Alright, just as long as the top oem tranny line is cut I can put the auxiliary lines any which way? Figure #1 would essentially utilize gravity and figure #2 works against gravity.. so it maybe a better option as it keeps the oil longer in the cooler.

According to B&M, the cooler must be installed with the fittings on the side, or on the top. If on the side, the lower fitting must be the inlet, and the top fitting the outlet to the transmission.

What have y'all used to cut the transmission oil hose? Cutting pliers?

Box knife or anything sharp.
