Default Drain trans without dropping pan?

I want to add some Lucas trans treatment but I don't want to drop the pan. What are my options?

Find the Trans cooling line FROM trans into radiator, usually the upper if I remember, slide tight fit tubing over it, pump out a pint.

Pump? How Exactly? Just run it thru the gears?

I'm not even 100% sure which fitting it is. I think its the small fitting on the top right if your looking at it. I've never used this method before. thanks for the reply

The cooler line is right by the radiator. Just unscrew it and start the truck have someone start it and it will pump out it only will take 30 seconds then put the line back together than add the lucas to it and drive it for a few.

You can always follow the lines and see where they go. But you will either get oil or transmission fluid when you take the line off.

Unless some major design changes have went on that's pretty universal.
