[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 1021217, member: 52972"] Fred, It would be much cheaper and more practical to just have it flushed with the proper equipment at a shop. I had my transmission flushed several times at a Kwik-Lube shop for $85 + tax. They used Pennzoil compatible Mercon-V synthetic and it only took them about 30 minutes. I was allowed in the garage while they performed the tranny flush and guy even told me everything he was doing along the way... My 2001 Sport Trac required 14 quarts of tranny fluid to complete the flush. The machine had a cylinder with separate compartments for the old and new fluids. As the old fluid was pumped out, the new fluid was pushed in using the same transmission pump pressure. Yes, you can probably jury-rig some way to get most of the old fluid out and the new fluid that approximates the end results, but that takes a lot of time and effort. Once you figure in your time and effort, you will see that you are not really saving much if anything. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
