I want to flush the transmission fluid in my wife's 1997 960. It looks like when I disconnect the top transmission line to the passenger side of the radiator, I will be left with a female fitting. I can't attach a hose to that. Does anyone know what kind of nipple (what thread type) I should be searching for to screw into the female fitting on the radiator that will leave me with a male end to put a hose on? I'd like to have the right fitting on hand before I open the line. It looks like it needs to be a fitting with two male ends, but I don't know what type of threads it should have.

Other than that, I'm planning on doing the flushing the same way I've done it on automatic 240's: pump two quarts out, pour two quarts in, pump two more out, two more in, etc., until it comes out clean and red.

Any information or advice would be appreciated.

You don't need a fitting on the female end. Just measure the outside diameter of the nut (largest corners) and get a clean tube about 4-6' long with and ID the same or slightly smaller than the diameter you measured. Just push it on snug, it won't blow off and won't make a mess. DEWFPO

Make sure to use hose clamps ,it will blow off and make a mess.

If I were doing this job, it wouldn't blow off. But I would still manage to make a mess.
