1\4 npt maybe. I have done it before and I think it is 1\4 but could be 3\8 npt. I plan on changing mine to #5 AN with a pipe to AN straight adapter. Jay

They are 1/4 NPST National pipe straight thread. Here are a couple of options

Here are some that will clip into your factory quick disconnects and are AN -6

And these are the straight thread to AN -6

I have heard of a couple of people cracking their transmission cases using NPT (taper thread)
