Ok so I've ordered the shift solenoids, the filter, and the pan gasket. I'm going to be on my back underneath this thing. I would rather not take a bath in trans fluid if I can help it. I'm wondering if it's possible to evacuate the fluid through the filler neck. Seems like it would work. Anyone done this?

 

Use it just about everyday.

 

Excellent!! Thanks!!

 

I used to put a small hole in the pan and then braze it up afterwards , no mess at all.

 

I was considering pulling a pan from the boneyard and making a drain hole in it. Then just swap it out when I do the service.

 

How about this for evacuating the trans fluid?
what size hose will fit down the fill tube?
