  1. Is this the method in the Haynes manual? I have the Chiltons manual and the procedure is a lot more complicated and required switching through gears while the car is running.

    clear plastic hose from Home Depot hooked up to tranny fluid line that enters top of radiator. I clamped it just to be safe (1/2 inch diameter from inside to inside. Just start car and let 2 qts. run out then shut off and refill. Keep doing this until good clean red tranny fluid is coming out consistently. I also bought a new tranny hose clamp from the dealer as it is hard to get old one off without damaging it. Really easy if you have someone else who can start and stop the car while you watch the amount coming out. Make sure whatever you use to flush old fluid in is marked in 2 qt. increments. I used a 5 gal. bucket and just marked it myself up to 12 qts. I actually use 10 qts. some have said they used as much as 15 qts.
