Do i really need that machine that flushes and filles your tranny or could it be done at home by me, i havent had a chance to get under there and check if theres a drain hole or not??

 

I used to say no, but then I learned how much tranny fluid there is. Typically from 10-14 quarts. When you just drain it you only get about 4-6 quarts out leaving half of the old stuff still in there.

I recommend the flush now.

 

So i did the complete Flush yesterday and wow what a difference!! Rides alot better!!!

 

I'm getting "The Treatment" from either AAMCO or JiffyLube. Either way, I talked to a transmission guy who runs a local rebuilding operation and he told me that I'd be crazy not to get the whole thing flushed-out with the new machines they have to do it now.

You get all the old fluid out of there and a complete fill of fresh fluid ... where as, before, they'd only get what was in the tranny and the pan. The new systems actually get the stuff in your torque converter and cooler.

The new systems employ the transnmissions own pump too move the fluid. Nothing gets forced against the regular flow.

 

Should also change the screen anyways.
