fluid change

[arkansasfiddler]

need an opinion: i heard about this method of changing the trans fluid from an RV forum: disconnect the cooler line at the rad. (the one going back to the trans.), put a 3 or 4 ft. piece of tygon tubing on the return line and put it so it will drain into a WHITE bucket, get 12 or 13 qts. of fluid (uncapped) ready to pour, go ahead and add a qt. or two before startup, start the motor and go to pouring, let run about a minute, kill mtr. ,add 2 or 3 qts. (and so on till the fluid runs clear.). get the level correct and youre done. really takes two people. i did this on my 4x4 and it seems to work. has anyone else done this?

It should work fine ... and it'll interchange all the fluid in the converter as well (probably be a lot less messy than dropping the pan!) :doh:

Only downside is that it uses a lot of fluid and you don't get the filter changed.
