After doing much reading I am going to take a fluid flush on myself.
From my research this is the method I'm going to employ. I will be doing this after the car has been sitting for overnight so the fluid is at ambient temperature.
+++ This is my theory method for feedback only just in case you're reading this looking for ideas +++++
1: Ensure that fill plug can be opened then open drain plug and drain fluid.
2: Accurately measure how much removed.
3: Refill transmission with EXACT same amount of fluid removed. Also note how much fluid removed from pan drain.
4: Remove return line after trans cooler
5: Start car and cycle through gears until the same amount (or slightly less) flows into the pre-placed measuring bucket on return line
6: Refill transmission through fill plug with EXACTLY the same amount of fluid removed.
7: Repeat process until fluid that comes out of hose is clean.
8: Refill transmission with EXACT same amount removed +100mL
9: Reconnect cooler lines
10: Start engine and run through gears until Ultragauge trans temp shows 45 degrees. (I know it is mostly accurate as the trans temp shown on the ultragauge and ambient temp shown on the car are within 1 degree in the morning on cold starts)
11: Stop engine and open overflow hole until only drips come out.
12: Job done
Any feedback on whether it will work or any tips?
