Eric, I also have an '85 240DL. About 10k ago, I finally did the auto. transmission flush, just as you were doing. I couldn't believe it would be this easy, until I tried it. Actually, I had just made my own flush hose from the 740 FAQ, which worked just as well (thx to brickboard). I'm not sure ALL of the old fluid was pumped out, but as long as MOST of it was, while pouring more fluid into the dipstick as the engine was running. Took me about 10 qts of fluid to fill and flush. Job went well, the fluid being pumped out was almost black (VERY dk. brown). Transmission is smooth as ever, just as it is now. I think you should do this flush after all. I'm sure everything will go well, take care.
