Placing some aluminum foil over the exhaust Y pipe and under the rear of the pan, making a funnel to allow the fluid to drain into the catch pan is much less messy.
Thanks for the Video Brother.
If you're replacing the drain pan then you can drill a small 1/8 inch hole at the bottom of the old drain pan to drain the fluid out. This way you don't have to deal with messy spill over of the fluid over the back side of the pan when unscrewing the bolts from the drain pan. Since you're not using the old pan any more there should be no issue for drilling a hole in the old pan to drain the fluid. Later on, if you decide to keep that old pan, you can drill and tap a bigger hole to adapt a new drain plug. Also there is a better way to add in the new tranny fluid. You can buy a new dipstick which comes with the metal cap (Cost is about $20). Take the new metal cap and use a dremmel tool to cut off the top of the cap. Make sure to leave a small lip and fit clear tubing over this lip and zip tie it tight. Then extend the tubing up into the engine bay. Stick a narrow tunneled funnel into the tubing and fill from above at engine bay level standing up. Alternatively - you can cut the old dipstick cap and install the new dipstick and cap afterwards. This way is better since you're cutting the old dipstick cap and not the new one. For drilling the old drain pan, you can cover your drill with plastic and just have the drill bit sticking out that way oil will not mess up your drill. Excellent video. Thank you Hope this helps.

Nice I was wondering why not just drill a hole to get the fluid out if you buy a new one. Thanks for explaining this

u can alsonjust use the same tool that you are filling the transmition with to empty it
Next thing you have to check is the transmission lines that go the cooler in the front. Theres videos showing how they break at the connector under the radiator then spill the fluid & burn up the transmission

Very true. Good tip, thank you.
There's a much better, faster, and easier way to fill the transmission fluid using a device that hooks up to an air compressor. It has a housing that looks like a clear whole house water filter housing. That's the best way I can describe it. Also, you can avoid all the mess on the floor by using one of those big plastic containers that are used for mixing concrete in. They're cheap and any big box hardware store has them.

Great tips! Thank you!
Step #1 - Remove the dipstick. Step #2 - Insert a tube into the dipstick hole and connect to a vacuum capture can and pull the old oil out.

This method will work but then you have to adapt the small tubing to the vacuum hose then clean out the vacuum after it's filled with oil. Also if the tube isn't exactly resting on the bottom of the pan there is a good chance that some fluid will still be left in the pan. Drilling a hole in the bottom of the pan is easier and you know that all of the fluid will drain out through the hole since it is at the lowest point.

What's up with the frankensteined Gold Wing project. Are you really using a Suzuki Gs-g tank. Interesting.

Hey, I want to go with the dorman but I saw some reviews that the drain plug weeps a little. Does yours have this problem? IF so, did you add anything to stop the weeping?

I literally came back to this video to ensure. I replaced mine and I do have fluid weeping from the drain bolt. This is the second time. If I can't find a fix, I'm reaching out out to dorman about it.

I'm sorry to hear that. Wouldn't be a bad idea to reach out to them. I can't remember if there was some kind of seal (crush washer, o ring, etc) but if not you could add one.
Details on new pan?

Why wouldn't Ford just have a transmission pan already with a drain plug from the factory?

Manufacturers make most of their money from people taking their cars into the dealer for repairs. Make it harder to work on, and less people can do it themselves.
