Trans drain and fill

Yea I was just going off most saying they get 4-5 quarts ONLY by pulling the drain plug.

 

just pulling the plug will get you 1-3 quarts (can't remember)

 

I like this idea, thanks for the tip.

 

I got exactly 2 quarts. Refilled with max life atf shifts great still. Examined the old fluid found some really fine stuff but no big pieces so guess I'll run this to the next oil change. Then drain and refill again. I thank you for the input!

 

I'd pull the pan like you suggested. Then refill it with Dextron. Disconnect the hose at the radiator & Start it up in park. let some fluid drain into a bucket. Add more clean fluid. Drain more out. Add more fluid. Drain more out. Repeat till it runs clean. Just guestimate how much to put in. since inside of the dipstick tube will be covered in A/T fluid. You'll be able to measure it with the dipstick somewhat.
As long as you don't drive it and put it under load it will be fine just idling. Should only take 20 minutes or so to do the flush. Buy about 4 gallons of A/T fluid. I think I used three total. Including refill.

I bought my 2003 used and did this as soon as I got it. It's been running great.

 

Here's a video for a DIY Trans Flush for anyone coming across this thread:
