Did just a pan fluid change, and got less than two quarts out of it. Was
darker than I thought it would be for 73,000 miles.
SO, I started it, idle neutral, no fluid coning out while I watched.
Then, put it in gear, ran through R and D, alternated till no engagement in D.
Turned it off, Looked again, no fluid for a few seconds, then more, darker
fluid drained out, not a whole lot at all.
Yes, the plastic reverse dip tube was out from the start... This one is about an
inch and a half long. I know they have different sizes, I suppose this is the
shortest one.
Now, there were two quarts in the drain pan (measured), let it sit, and that was it.
I pumped about three quarts in, left the pump and tube connected to the fill adapter,
started it up and let it idle for a minute then ran it through Reverse, D, then over to
1 and 2 for about 3 minutes.
Took the fill adapter out, and let it drain till it started that phphphphphphp farting
sound, and not even a cup came out.
I used a $4.97 One Gallon Bug Sprayer from Walmart, worked like a charm!
Unscrewed the spray tip, clamped a hose on it, then the other end of the hose
on the fill adapter. So, I have my $4.97 DIY Trans Fluid Pump Kit...
How much fluid is supposed to be in the pan? It sat for 15 hours.
2 quarts, that's it?
