transmission fluid change with some pics
#21
very good info on using the tubing to drain the tranny till it sputtered. empty I assume.
do you think that is about the same as dropping the pan and running for a brief time to empty the tranny?
I am real curious just what could get hurt by a brief run when empty,not someones guessing but actual facts from someone who really knows tranny s.

Now when you start it up and pour in the half a dozen quarts until it runs clean, what you are doing is the tranny pumps the new clean fluid in through the pump and through the torque converter (where the dirty oil sits when the pan is off) once you see clean oil coming out the hose into the bucket all the fluid has been exchanged.

Just talked to my hummer tech at the G.M. dealership. He said no way he would ever flush a transmission by letting it run out until it sputters. That is not the proper way to do it. Like I said, to flush it properly you have a flow and a return. In the service manual it just gives instructions on changing the fluid and filter, not how to flush it, but it won't let me copy and paste it here.
