Default Please help me identify the AT Cooler hose

I am planning to do AT fluid change this weekend on my 2001 RX300. I found an excellent thread with pics on this board but I am having hard time identifying which hose is the one that I should disconnect (shown in this step) to let the old fluid drain out?

Here are the shots taken from underneath the car. Thanks for your help.

I am not that completely familiar with the RX's, but this is pretty easy... there are two tubes that come off of the transmission that run to the front of the vehicle - they either go to a small finned heatsink, or the radiator... either one of them will work just fine for your purposes...

If you are unsure, unhook both from the cooler and point it into a container. Get someone to turn on the car for a sec to see where it's coming out from.
