I have used this method since 1985. I owned a transmission shop for 30yrs. I warranted most of my jobs for the lifetime the owner had the vehicle. It was a requirement that the owner bring in the vehicle annually or every 20,000 miles to keep the warranty in force. I too used 2, 5gal fryer oil containers marked at 1qt intervals. I never saw the need to buy a machine for this purpose. It really works great! No mess and really quick. No pump needed as my fluid was pumped in thru a adjustable measured automatic bulk pump.

Thanks for sharing your background and experience! The auto manufacturers are making it more and more difficult to service ATF: I.e. no dip stick and side and bottom fill ports. Here's a video where ATF had leaked from the radiator and I had to figure out a easy way to get the right amount back in: kzread.info/dash/bejne/mYSA2cGBqcaoe7g.html

Great video on this. Just did it this weekend. Dropped pan, cleaned it, added a 2nd magnet (as per GM TSB), new filter then put pan back up. Initially filled with 6 quarts of fresh Dex VI. Started it up and with this method at the cooler line fitting, pumped about a gallon of fluid into a milk jug. Repeated this until the fluid was same color as new fluid... about 12 quarts. Got it up to temp and had to add maybe 1/4 to a 1/2 quart of fluid. Great process.

Thank you so much for sharing this most instructive video. I was able to successfully do this ATF flush, which my mechanic wanted to charge so much. I didn't take any chances, so I replaced one per gallon until the fluid came out clean Red. The older one was really blackened. The GMC SUV had 123K miles, so I don't think previous owner did any changes to the ATF.

Listen - I give up. I wrote two comments, and both did not "stick" so I wrote the one I did (the third one, below) and I see it stayed. So let me try again. You are a very creative and thinking kind of guy. To think to do this this way, is really smart, You start by draining the pan (the 3 quarts) and then the result is all new fluid. And all one needs are those two 5 gal containers, and a cheapo pump. I LOVE this. I immediately ordered the pump and the containers, and have received both. I will be giving this method a whirl very soon. Your kind of applied thinking is not seen often. Most everybody just uses existing tools, no matter how expensive, and they don't think a little bit and come up with a better way. You do. Like the hydraulic pump for the bearing press.

Forget the pump, you only need one graduated 5-gallon tank. Since the new ATF comes in 1-gallon jugs, just have a funnel in the transmission fill tube, and simply pour it in. The best part of that kit, is the adapter that allows the hose to be connected to the radiator cooling exchanger. The clear vinyl tubes are also nice, so you can really see the color of the fluid on its way out. The lower the transmission level is, the more thorough the exchange. I've seen some videos, where they drain the transmission until they see bubbles in the line, shut it off, add the gallon, then repeat. I don't think you can damage an unloaded transmission by allowing the fluid in the pan to run out, for such a short period of time. After a flush, did you notice any difference in the feel of the shifts? I also recommend dropping the pan, and replacing the pickup screen.

I just purchased a used 2008 Mitsubishi Endeavor with 105,000 miles.It has a Automatic Transmission. I noticed it had a shudder around 40 MPH. And getting worse. I watch a few KZread videos on flushing the whole system. I was getting nervous that I just purchased this truck and now a may need a new transmission. I ordered 17qts from Mitsubishi. I used Mitsubishi Transmission Fluid. That’s what is recommended. I ordered the pump from amazon. I got 2 white 5 Gallon buckets from Walmart. I got 2 - 10ft clear 3/8 ID hoses and 3/8 couplers from Home Depot. The color was dark pink. No Burnt smell. But I needed to do this. I found the 2 hoses going from the Transmission to the Radiator. All I did was disconnected 1 hose. I connected 1 clear hose to one side and the other clear hose to the other connection. Now I needed to find the one that was pumping the Transmission fluid out. Once I found this out. I put that hose going to one bucket. So the other hose was getting the pump hooked up and new Transmission fluid going back into the Transmission. This bucket i put in 12 QTS = 3 gallons of Transmission to start with. I turned the car on the old Transmission fluid was coming out fast I waited for around 2 QTS of the old transmission fluid to come out than I started the Pump on the New Transmission fluid going in and coming out I was moving through each gear. From P to R,N,D staying in each for a minute. And starting over again I did it a few times Around 3 gallon mark I could see the color was getting lighter on the fluid coming out. Has the new fluid was getting low in the bucket in started to add 1 Qts,2 Qts, 3qts. I just wanted to make sure it was all clean coming out. I turned the car off and turned the pump off. I disconnected all the clear hoses and connected everything back the way it was. I did add Lubegard 19610 Dr. Tranny Instant Shudder Fixx 2 Ounce to the clean fluid. I drove the car around the shudder is gone. The checked the fluid level it was perfect on the dipstick. It’s all bright pink now. I called a few Transmission places before I flushed my Transmission. They all told me if my transmission has any shifting issues I will need a new transmission and flushing the whole system out will not work. I’m very Happy I flushed the whole system out. And make sure you use the correct and recommended Transmission fluid. Don’t use anything else.

I do something similar at my shop, however my "pump" is a pump garden sprayer with a valve stem in the side to use shop air. I thought about buying a fluid exchanger for the stupid side fill transmissions, but the garden sprayer was my work around. I just drilled a hole in the side and pulled a valve stem through it. I cut the head off of the wand and clamped a hose to it. At 10-15 psi it will pump about a gallon of ATF or Rear End fluid in about 5 minutes.

I like your system, works well. Keep in mind later model trans have a coarse filter, not ever meant to be serviced. And with no dipstick, you have to search for the plug access location. A fluid flush would help extend their life by refreshing the trans oil. Older vehicles with dipsticks mostly use a much finer replaceable filter. Should be swapped out every 30t miles, or 50k. That black sludge that collects on magnet also clogs up the filter over time. Signs of a blocked filter would be whining trans when heavy on acceleration and sitting in neutral. Will end up burning the fluid if driven lots whining thus it becomes lower on lubrication quality and in time taking out your trans. By fully servicing this filter you are able to avoid expensive repairs and keep your older trans shifting nicely. 🤗

@@hardlymovingpro How do you measure the difference ? The idea is to move oil through all the passages of the valve body and remove as much old oil or sludge as possible. If you just leave in P it won't clean out as well, with a pro flushing machine you actually run it in each gear for a minute.

thanks; why not add fluid through return line with the transfer pump or even gravity feed with funnel? If the pump pick up is down in the the pan and the dipstick tube is as well, would feeding the return line help flow old fluid out of all the valve body passageways?

@hardlymovingpro

2 жыл бұрын

The transfer pump doesn't have the pressure to pump via the return line. Gravity feed with funnel works but you have to keep an eye on the progress of the funnel oil level, constantly adding more oil (while holding the 4 qt container) and watching the dirty oil getting pushed out when the engine is running. A lot of stuff to be monitoring! You can stop the engine while waiting for the new oil to catch up to the dirty oil that's been pumped out; however, when you stop the engine, you're allowing the new oil to starting mixing with the old oil.

One question, don't you need to shift through the gears so the valve body gets clean fluid as well?

With respect to the pump, you'll have to go to a hardware store to pickup clear tubing and perhaps some hose clamps to keep the hose from coming off.

You think doing a second flush with a new filter with this method will help dislodge any debris??? I read this online "This is very common when the old oil was already black. The varnish from that blackened oil is all over the discs, valves, and casings. The new fluid cleans it off and clogs the filter." I also read this "Your transmission needs a fluid pressure check to make sure your transmission fluid pump is working with a correct psi pressure of over 100 psi, otherwise the clutch pacts won’t have enough pressure to press those pressure plates together to activate those planetary gears and sun gear. There is a check screw on the side of the valve body for the fluid pressure check. Check your transmission fluid level, park your car on a level ground with the engine running at idle speed, and pull the dipstick out to see if your transmission have enough fluid. Make sure you use the correct transmission fluid."

Flow rates won't be the same. Best to do this procedure with a partner to start and stop the car engine while you control the transfer pump.

So what about changing the filter???

@hardlymovingpro

If you want to but not necessary like engine oil filters that accumulate carbon deposits.

What about the transmission filter still dirty?

@hardlymovingpro

Жыл бұрын

It's not like a engine oil filter (i.e. trapping carbon from combustion) and usually doesn't require replacement.

Would this work on a 2016 Chevy Tahoe I have a p0769 code and I want to flush my transmission before someone tells me to just replace 😩 it’s a ppv version and they said it idled so I really don’t think I need a new transmission

Sorry but don't think changing the transmission fluid will fix a shift solenoid that's not working (P0769).

Can you pump-it out from the dip-stick and put the same amount back the same way ?

@hardlymovingpro

Yes. You can do that but you won't get the drain tube to the bottom of the oil pan. The filter is in the way. I'd guess less than 3 quarts will come out.

Would be better if you pumped the new fluid into the return line as it lubricates the spinning parts in that transmission; it doesn't dump into the pan as some believe.

You could do that but the return line is pumping oil back into the pan.

What is the nipple piece on your adapter? It looks different than the one you linked, the piece you hook the hose to?

Don't you need to drop the pan and change the transmission filter?

@hardlymovingpro

Most of the time nope. If the trans is shifting okay and the fluid isn't too dark with metal particles, just change the fluid. On some American pickups, if you drop the pan, you can wipe off the warn off clutch residue that accumulated at the bottom of the pan. Heard stories where people dropped the pan, changed the filter then starting having transmission shifting problems.

Is it ok to not put a new filter in?

Yup ... no problem. What most people call filters are really screens.

Just found this video and thinking of tackling the job myself. You link (2) different transmission adapters, do I need both for this job? I have a ‘14 Sierra.

@Hardly Moving Productions ok thanks man appreciate it just wanted to make sure i got the right return line.. the top line goes into the small auxiliary cooler from the radiator appreciate it

Why not connect the pump line to the other side of the cooler line, in side of that line so the fluid is completing a full cycle through torque converter and flushing out all old fluid?

@hardlymovingpro

4 ай бұрын

For 3 reasons: 1. Don't believe the pump has the pressure to push the oil. 2. Need to fabricate connectors for the pump line to the return ATF line. 3. In the return ATF line, fluid is going right back to the oil pan slump (which is what I'm refilling with new fluid via the dip stick).
