Today i drained just under 3 qts of transmission oil and refilled with 3 qts of Royal Purple fully synthetic ATF. The old oil was very dark, almost black.

Next onto the TC, with the car level about 50ml of dark brownish oil came out, not sludge. Then i jacked up the passenger side about 15" and another 50 ml came out.
Jacked up the driver side to 19"...too nervous to go the full 24".

Bought a pump from walmart (about $8) fed the discharge hose through the engine bay and into the "drain plug hole"...i was able to pump 400 ml of Mobil fully synthetic 75/140 into the TC.

I have the TC "without much room" which i have seen a post about here.
Like that poster i had to use a 1/4" ratchet with a 1/4" to 3/8" adapter to get the drain plug out, it was in there tight, but it came out when i changed from my crappy ratchet to a decent one.

Have not test driven it yet, so curious to see if it feels any different.

I'll continue the transmission flush with another 3 qts in a few days

 

took it for a short drive and it feels much smoother and shifts very nicely
