Transmission flush? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I have a 1992 Camry and I want to flush my transmission fluid. There are two cooling lines.
Which one is the return line, the left or the right? Do I need to plug off where the line connects to the radiator? Thanks for the help.

On my 2000 Camry, the output from the transmission to the radiator was the passenger side hose. So the driver side one would be the fluid returning to the transmission.

Did my transmission flush today and the car shift softer or smoother than before. I did not
know which hose is the return hose. I went ahead and did the trial and error method. I took the left hose out and started the car. The engine did not sound right and I smell burn on the engine or transmission. Turned off the engine right away and put back the left hose. Took out the right hose and started the car, engine sound great and fluid pump out from the right side hose. Did follow the DIY transmission on this website and took about 6 quarts of Castrol ATF at Autozone for $4.00 each. Thanks for everyone help.
