transmission cooler

[mr j-man]

hey all
just wanting to know if the trans oil lines to the cooler are under pressure when cold and vehicle not running?
just looking to change out the oil cooler but dont wana remove the lines and cop a face full of oil!

Na mate, no pressure. The pressure comes from the pump in the trans pumping when the engine is running. Engine not running, no pump working. There will be fluid in the lines, it will drain out, but it won't be under pressure.
