Default HELP! installing aftermarket radiator 2 hoses dont match up

hi, so today im installing a Gimmick motorsports radiator with their thermostat and some perrin radiator hoses.

all is going well until i hit the end of the radiator removal, i found these 2 lines that run down to my transmission (4EAT) with NO PLACE to hook up to the new radiator.

when i removed the hoses a brownish colored fluid came out, and is now sitting on top of the coolant in the drain bucket. im assuming this is tranny fluid

someone please help me, right now im assuming i need to reinstall my stock radiator, but what would happen if i connected a single hose to both ends, bypassing the old radiator hookups? would my 4eat go BOOM? is this where i hook up an auto tranny cooler? edit: i just ordered an a/t cooler to be overnighted to me tomorrow. work is only a 7 minute drive from my house, not including traffic, could i drive lightly and not explode my tranny? i do plan on doin a 4eat to 6mt swap in the spring, so if i did SOME damage to the 4eat i wouldnt care.

the issue is i need my car to get to and from work so i have to get it back together within the next 4 hours or so...

the lines in question:



they hook up at the tranny, one above the external AT filter, one goes back a little further:

lloks like those are your tranny cooling lines. under no circumstaces would i drive the car without those linnes connected to the radiator. if you just connect them to each other, you will get no flow and therefore no cooling.

well the car's still out there on jacks

i installed everything as it should be, and just used one of the hoses and connected it to both hard lines to stop anything from dripping out. like i said in the spring ill be doing a 6mt swap so be on the lookout for a slightly used A/T cooler for sale around april

im having the said cooler overnighted, im just gunna have my gf drive me tomorrow, because no matter how much i really hate the 4eat i really dont want my tranny to blow up.
