Re: Transmission Fluid Change Question
If this is a concern change it twice. If what you drain the second time is
reasonably clean, don't worry too much.

Re: Transmission Fluid Change Question
That's like changing the pool filter twice.
I worry a lot about it, that's where the heavy particles are
separated in a type of centrifugal filter.

Re: Transmission Fluid Change Question
From his post he sounds like he has limited experience. Putting a drain in
the converter is probably past where he should be starting.
Earle's idea has merit but if that is planned then adding a pan drain is
cheap and easy and he will not have to pull the pan a second time.
Don't forget the change the gear lube in the differentials while you are at
it.

Don't forget the change the gear lube in the differentials while you are at
