Try this - remove the tranny cooling lines. One of them is an inlet and one is
an outlet. Put a catch pan under the outlet and rig up a hose or hard line from
the inlet into a gallon of new ATF+3. Have another person crank the vehicle
while in neutral (wheels chocked & parking brake on) for a few seconds. Keep
repeating this until the outlet fluid comes out clean or until you run out of
new fluid. If you do it this way - you really dont even have to remove the pan
- but you should to change the filter also.
When I was at the dealership buying ATF+3 - I asked the truck/tranny tech what
the procedure was to change ALL the fluid. He said they just drop the pan -
replace that fluid - drive around for a few blocks and do it again. I said
wha??? He said "yeah - that gets about 90 percent of it - the rest you cant get
out". I told him I thought that was crazy - mentioned the above procedure and
he said "hey - thats a good idea"........What a pinhead. And people wonder why
I insist on doing all my own maintenance.
