The problem is that it is impossible to drain all the atf w/o tranny removing. 3-5 quarts stais inside the tranny and if U drop pan to replace filter less then 9 quarts leak out. Much ATF slowly leaks out of tranny cooler and radiator.....

Get 3 gallons of fluid, hook a couple of 4 foot long clear hoses to the cooler lines by the radiator and put the other end in a deep pan, start engine for 30 seconds and pump fluid out till it spits. Drop pan, remove remainder, change filter, replace pan with new gasket. Fill through dip stick with 2 gallons. Start and let run for 20 to 30 seconds. Begin filling slowly, constantly checking. It should take 12 to 13 quarts.
