"Gentle" Automatic Transmission Flush
Bear River gave me the idea of "gently" flushing the fluid out of any automatic transmission by simply disconnecting one of the exit lines at the radiator and letting it flow out by the pressure of its own pump while adding new fluid at the same time.
The question is... At how quick of a pace do I add new fluid? Just follow the capacity reccomendations for a complete system flush, have the bottles set aside, and let it go until I've poured them all in and have fresh, pink fluid at the exit line?
I was wanting to get this taken care of as I change the plugs and all at 100k miles.
Any suggestions or reccomdations are absolutely appreciated!
Also, how about Seafoam's Trans-X or Trans-Flush? I can't think of what they call it. Would ya'll reccomend it with a good shifting automatic, or just for one with problems?
The only complaint I have is a noticable "purge" when the transmission shifts into OD. I'm hoping that fresh Mercon V fluid will take care of that.
