The garage I used to work at used a machine that connected into one of the tranny cooler lines, measured the quantity of fluid coming out, and pumped in the same amount going back in (you didn't even have to connect the lines carefully, it figured out which one was pumping and auto-switched the lines internally if you had them swapped) - as I don't have 7 thousand dollars on hand to buy such a machine, I've been considering using a pair of 5 gallon pails to do the same job in a more ghetto fashion - use one as a drain bucket and keep the other filled with clean fluid till the old fluid line starts looking red (while shifting through all the gears of course). Anyone see a reason this won't work nicely if I make sure to keep the clean fluid bucket above the level of the transmission so it doesn't have to pull uphill?
