We use a machine that is connected to the tranny cooler (has in internal
cooler...just in case). We start the vehicle, run the cleaning agent
for a bit, turn the valves open and flush the system out with new ATF+4.
One item that we also do which not very many other shops do is include a
Filter and Gasket in the price. No sense in "flushing" out the system
and not changing the filter.

Subject: DML: Tranny Fluid Flush?
Ok I'm sure this has been squabbled over before heh
Day off work today - gonna go do the trans fluid change now... I would
really like to get all that old trans fluid out. Any way I can flush
the trans out myself? With the engine running the TQ converter is
spinning - Now - if I were to disconnect the tranny cooler fluid line
and let the trans pump the remainder of the fluid out (after draining
the pan) - would I risk roasting my trans?
How do shops do trans fluid flushes anyway?
