1. Remove cooler lines from radiator and attach long hoses to the ends with hose clamps.

 

2. Using a clean bucket, place both lines in the bucket and have someone hold them there carefully.

 

3. Crank the engine over for a second(don't run it for long) and see which one shoots fluid out. Leave that one in the bucket and hold on to it for the next step.

 

4. Start the engine. Be careful, the output hose will be under rather high pressure and it may spray you if you're not holding onto it. The transmission's pump will now pump the old fluid out through the hose.

 

5. When the hose starts to sputter, shut off the engine. Using a funnel, pour new transmission fluid in through the fill tube. I'd say start with 6 quarts unless it really looks like you got less out of the trans so far.

 

6. Repeat Step 4.

 

7. Reconnect your cooler lines.

 

8. Check fluid level and adjust as necessary.

first draining and removing the pan, cleaning the filter, refit pan with a new gasket and refilling with new fluid. Then more new fluid was pumped in as the first stuff is pumped out through the cooler lines, with the motor running and selecting each gear during the process. This used about twice the quantity of fluid but put new fluid through all oil lines and the converter flushing all old stuff out without the box pumping dry at any stage.
