Automatic Tranny Service On My Avalanche
if you "get the fluid sucked out,be shure to
change the filter also.we have a trans-tech transmission flushing machine,it
is hooked up to the cooler lines,the fluid is pumped out enough to drop the
pan,replace the filter,add required amount and type of new fluid to the
machine and flush out the remaining old fluid.we have been performing this
type of service for 5yrs and no problems as of yet.it is better to flush and
replace the filter,rather than just flushing and not replacing the filter.if
you drop the pan and change the filter,the remianing old fluid immediately
contaminates the new fluid you have just added.

Do #2, add a bottle of Lubegard ATF protectant (red bottle,
available at NAPA) fill 'er up & go. This is the way I've
been servicing transmissions for over 25 years & it's always worked for
me.

I now have 60K
miles on my 03 Avalanche 4WD. I think I might be due or a bit past due for
tranny service. All you mechanics out there, what is the best way to
service it?
1. Take it to a lube place
and have all the fluid sucked out. (of course the filter doesn't get
changed this way)
2. Drop the pan myself
and change the filter and oil myself. (I've heard you won't get all the
oil out this way)
3. Better
way?
Thanks!
