Default Flushing transmission cooler lines

I'm suspecting that the transmission fluid cooler lines on my 96 blazer is cloged! Anyone got a write up on how to flush them?

I have seen flush kits that require you to disconnect the lines directing one into a bucket while connecting the other to the flush canister. I cannot remember exactly where I saw them, but I know that my father used something like this as required by Jasper when we changed the transmission in his old 94 K2500.

a quick way to test this is to remove both lines at the tranny. clamp a rubber hose to one of the lines and put into a bucket. use a blow gun and shop air to blow the lines out. this will blow the fluid out of the lines and eventually just air will come out. do not put the full shop psi through the cooler give it short bursts, you may blow a line or something off. at least this way you will know if you have flow.
