When doing the poor man's flush, instead of pouring new fluid in through the dipstick tube, what about connecting a new host/fitting into the return line opening and putting that hose into a bucket with new fluid. Let the old fluid come out disconnected return line into a different bucket. That way you don't have to constantly monitor and guess how much fluid to add, and it can't get away from you.
I think you'd need a 14mm x 1.5 fitting to plug into the transmission then whatever else you want on the other side, proabaly a -6 AN and some tubing to go to the fresh fluid bucket.
What do you guys think?
Also, removing the pan to swap out the filter seems like a pain in the ass, but seems like I've read that you can support the engine with a floor jack and a piece of wood to distribute the weight. This will allow you to remove the transmission cross member/mount and get easy access to the pan? Is this the way to go?
