The resavoir is fed by the low pressure or return side.
-
witch one is the low pressure port on the gearbox?????? thats what I don't know. didn't get to label them.
-
what would happen if I hooked them backwards & started it up? anything really bad?
-
-
you suck! made me laugh when I'm all pissed off, I hate when I do that. actually that picture helps, thanks
-
My guess is the high side would be the one with the hose marked with yellow from the pic. High side requires special hose specs. You might be able to ID the hoses by shape from that pic.

On a side note, mine is leaking and was wondering how hard it was to relace and where did you find yours. Everything i can find is on backorder. Dealearship wants way to much for it. Thanks.
-
if yours is just leaking you can rebuild it. if you arn't up for that, napa sells a rebuilt one for about $300 + core return (probably your best bet) if you want a used one try car-part.com, that will give several salvage yards. some are overpriced in my opinion. mine broke off the frame, no t good for a core at napa & without a core the price is around $520. a new one from dealer should be around $650. the car part. com took me 3 tries to get one reasonably priced & not leaking. good hunting

Wish I knew you had needed a box. I gave mine to the scrap guy for $20. I would have rather given it to someone that needed it.

thanks everyone for all the help,gear box is installed. took it for a 20 mile spin ,didn't explode or anything. I'm kina disappointed, I never get what I want.
