Most of the fluid is inside the torque converter, old school ford's had a drain plug on the converter.

After pan drop, filter change, magnet clean, and refill, many times on many vehicles I have taken the cooler line loose and added fluid through the fill port while someone starts the engine … Pan never runs dry this way and with a piece of clear tubing running to your drain pan you can visibly see the color change of the fluid.

In any case thank you for caring enough about the customer's vehicle to get more old fluid out and more new fluid in!

* thought it was easy* proceed on going on YouTube after watching the video, I am ready to take it to the dealership.

[therealkilleryoss]

Best way I found was to drop all I could refill and repeat until it came out clean! It’s a hassle but you get all the old fluid out by letting the trans flush it self out!

[CodyDoesIt]

Amen even a drain and fill a few times is better than any machine.

[channell]

You can do a perfectly serviceable full fluid exchange by disconnecting a transmission cooler line and letting the transmission pump the fluid into your receptacle as you add fluid to the transmission.

[wardwrenching]

Would it kill manufacturers to put a drain plug in the trans?

[wesleywlee]

I get what you’re saying and doing, and I’m all of mechanics educating people about their cars. But you know people are gonna pick out every misspoken word and such.

Please keep doing what you’re doing man

[Cdmxforever]

I never use power tools on transmission work.

My truck is a 1997 model and I don't want to break any screws.

Good job man 👊🏻💥🇲🇽

[robertwolfram]

Thanks for the video! It along with some of the comments answered my questions.

[nullcircuit]

All the commenters with their fancy flush methods; the drain and fill method used here is a much safer way to exchange fluid in a transmission particularly with older/high mileage vehicles. By doing this you prevent metallic debris from getting lodged in the valve body.

This dude knows what he's doing.

Unhook both lines at trans cooler or radiato and connect hoses on each one. One going to a bucket with clean fluid and the other pumping into an empty bucket. It will suck up the new fluid and flush out the old. Once it comes out clean shut if off, reconnect lines and run it while checking level. If it's too high unhook the return line and run it to pump some fluid out and recheck after reconnecting lines or use a hose on a hand siphon down the fill tube if it has one to remove fluid as well.

[MalibuWaGOON]

Very cool idea for those of us who have project cars I'm definitely doing this on my tahoe project now😁

[galevest]

I disconnected my tranny hose from the radiator into a pan then start it up and let it push ALL the fluid out when it starts to run out shut it off refill it and do it again. U will watch fluid go from black to brown to red and I have done this on over 40 different types of vehicles and never had a issue except awesome results...this completely drains the torque converter. You can blow the radiator/trans cooler with a air hose

[Colthatchback]

i usually change the filter n refill, then put the cooler lines in buckets, suction line in a full of new fluid one and an empty for the other, run it till its clean as, check level and adjust, done 👌 uses alot of fluid that way but i dont mind as it ends up in the fuel tank of my old diesel truck anyway 😂

[zaphodbeeblebrox]

I knew an old guy who would slightly raise the vehicle. He would run a clear tube from the return (dirty) line into a marked bucket and add fluid at the same rate. He had done it enough times to know fast he would need to add. The only problems I saw with his system was #1 You needed to be 100% focused. One on the bucket and one eye on your supply. #2 Unless you were fast (really fast) you kind of needed a helper to shut down the engine as soon as you were done. I forget when the guy passed away, maybe mid 2000's, so newer transmissions may be a lot less "forgiving" to being a little under or over filled.

[chrisjones]

Some people hate Saturns but they had the right idea when it came to transmission fluid. It had a filter just like and engine oil filter and a drain plug. You could change the fluid easy as an oil change.

[markhuyette]

I like to spray break clean on the valve body and let it drain can get the varnish out of them and get them unstuck have a blessed day today 🙏

[marcushaynes]

That's what I need to do to my '89 Chevy Caprice. It needs its trans fluid and filter change. What I would do is fill the transmission fluid up, run it, shut the engine off. Disconnect the trans return line from the radiator, connect it to a long rubber hose. Put the end of it into a big bucket, plastic container, etc. Start the car, with the hose in the bucket. As the car is running, watch the trans fluid change from a dark brownish color to a bright red. I saw this done on YouTube.
