jeremy Posted July 21, 2005 Report Posted July 21, 2005 sounds high to me, but only because I know someone who will rebuild and repair one for $350-500. Quote
slick Posted July 21, 2005 Report Posted July 21, 2005 About right to me Take one line of the tranny cooler and put it in an empty bucket and put the other line into a full bucket of ATF. Run said tranny in gear with ebrake pulled until one bucket is full and they other is not. Quick flush ladies and gentlemen. Wait... Dont do that. i cant remeber if this car pulls through the cooler or pushes through the cooler. Someone Verify? Someone verify if this works real quick! Quote
JoroCorona Posted July 21, 2005 Report Posted July 21, 2005 I think it pushes which means this would not work unfortunatly. Worked pritty good on my old A604 on my Cirrus tho... Quote
DaveFromColorado Posted July 21, 2005 Report Posted July 21, 2005 these trani's will NOT pull in fluid from the cooler lines, it pushes the fluid through the cooler, with little to no vacuum on the other side... I was simply stating you can pump some fluid out with the help of the trans pump, rather then trying to suck the fluid out through the dipstick hole. you could always change your fluid again (dropping the pan) and get a drain plug kit and modify your pan to accept it. --Dave.

biff85ta Posted July 22, 2005 Report Posted July 22, 2005 If you tapped the bottom of the bucket on the clean fluid and hung it above the level of the trans you should be able to gravity feed the fluid in. Quote
JoroCorona Posted July 22, 2005 Report Posted July 22, 2005 I wouldn't recommend that either. It would supply no pressure and prolly wipe out a few bearings. Quote
biff85ta Posted July 22, 2005 Report Posted July 22, 2005 I wouldn't recommend that either. It would supply no pressure and prolly wipe out a few bearings. You wouldn't be loading the trans and the whole process would take a matter of about ten minutes. The biggest problem I could see with it is if the feed line wasn't big enough. I have used the flush machines on many a w before and they do not pump with much if any more pressure than a gravity feed would. If you where really concerned about pressure a cheap external carb electric fuel pump would probably do the trick for a one shot deal. Quote
DaveFromColorado Posted July 22, 2005 Report Posted July 22, 2005 like I said, just pump out a few quarts, and top it off the normal way, you'll save time, and hastle tryin' to rig up your own flush type machine. --Dave. Quote
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted July 22, 2005 Author Report Posted July 22, 2005 By doing Dave's method is would you get more out than dropping the pan? If not, I'll just drop the pan cause I wanna see if there are more shavings in it anyways. Quote

If not, I'll just drop the pan cause I wanna see if there are more shavings in it anyways. I don't think you would see more shavings, and you would risk creating more problems, imo. Plus all the shavings *theoretically* would be on the magnet which is on the pan. Do it right. Quote
Atl530i Posted July 23, 2005 Report Posted July 23, 2005 Well, I am most definitely keeping your name in mind with I have a problem with my Grand Prix, Dave. Good to know information in this thread. Quote
DaveFromColorado Posted July 23, 2005 Report Posted July 23, 2005 by doing it my way, you'll only get a little bit out at a time, as you don't want to totally evacuate the pump in your trans. Go for droppin' the pan, but get a drain plug kit, so you can easily drain and fill your trans without the hastle of droppin' the pan all the time. --Dave. Quote
