Re: To John O transmission fluid change question? 850 1994

I think you've got it right.

Drain it, fill it (4 qts), start the engine and move the gear selector through the gear range.

Do this 2 more times and the fluid will be clean and red when done (look like new) and it's very easy.

There is some mixing by doing it like that but it's completely safe (as safe as doing your own oil change) and just as easy too. Other than 12 qts of ATF and maybe a new drain plug seal (optional), you'll need no extra parts.

At the final fill, put in slightly less than 4 qts because you don't want to overfill the trans.
