I thought that Dester had mentioned something about that service. I have
seen this service offered at Jiffy Lube where they cycle the fluid through
the tranny. I am not about to have those bozo's try that on my Dak. I
really want to try the Amsoil ATF but considering the whole system holds
about 12 quarts, I would have to do a lot of fluid changes at a rather high
cost.

Talk to any of the guys at a trany shop and they'll tell ya not to do any
thing to suck the fluid out. Course they're a trany shop and want you to
have to bring it in to them for rebuild some day. :) Just heard to many of
them talk about the damage that could be done by sucking it all out. I'd
opt for something more like what Wynns does where it cycles the fluid
through the normal lines.

Anybody thought about using a small vacuum pump & reservoir to bleed
the tranny? I read about a guy doing this to change th fork oil on his bike,
and it's similar to what some of the local shops do for tranny fluid
changes.
I've been thinking about trying this when my tranny's ready for it's first
change, but I'm not sure how well it'll work on a 45 RFE (these supposedly
have two fluid "loops", one for shifting and one for cooling).
Any thoughts?
