[QUOTE="Brandon Hovater, post: 758756, member: 59974"] I have an idea on how to drain fluids I got from work. I will be tring this in a couple of weeks but I believe this will work. All you need I think is a: 5 gal bucket with seal lid shop vac tygon tubeing Git the tygon tubeing at lowes or somewhere that fits the job Take the bucket and drill a hole in the lid that just fits the tygon tubeing and a hole that just fits the shop vac hose. Stick the hose in the trans through the dipstick tube all the way down to the pan and into the 5 gal bucket to the bottom. Stick the shop vack hose just in the bucket and turn it on. Ther should be enouf vacuum to pull the fluid into the bucket. This will help if dropping the pan or doing a fluid change. This could also work in changing out the fluid in the rear end also. Know this is all just an idea but this was something we did when working with VX nerve agent. ANY THOUGHTS? [/QUOTE]
