Auto Transmission Flush - Clarification on Technique Needed 850 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be Nathan on  Sat Feb 24 00:09 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Hey Guys,

I will soon flush my transmission fluid and replace with synthetic ATF (Mobil or Amsoil). I will use the method as posted here and Bay 13.

My question is this: Can you just leave the engine running and simply add new ATF fluid during the process?

I.E. - instead of waiting for the tranny to pump air and shutting down the engine to add more ATF, why not just have your ATF ready to go and add while the tranny pumps out the old?

Just seems a little more efficient to do this way.

Any thoughts or suggestions are most welcomed.

Also- as Synthetic ATF is price precious, how many quarts do you really need? Seems I have seen posted anywher from 11 to 18 quarts of new ATF fluid are required for a clean flush.
