    Its kind of a PITA the way our trans cooler lines are run, but another good method is to disconnect the hoses at the cooler, connect extension hoses, fill a bucket with New fluid to get sucked in through the return hose and an empty bucket to catch the used fluid on its way to the trans cooler.

    ive been draining and filling my tranny every 15k since 60k, so within the last 30k its had its fluid changed a couple times. lol so there isnt that much old fluid in there.

    Is there a reason why you have been doing it every 15K. Both of my brothers work at transmission shops and say thats not good to do. Something to do with the detergent in the fluid messes up the clutches in the transmission??? I think thats what they said. They always told me if I have a high mileage vehicle (150,000+ miles) to just leave the old transmission fluid in it and dont flush it.
