OK Mitch, if I could remember what I read then I
wouldn't have to
repeat
what you already said.
Sorry about that,
Manfred
Good idea. But you still need to take off the pan and
see what is in
there and put on a new filter. What's in the bottom of
the pan will
tell
you a lot about the condition of the tranny. Maybe
drop the pan first,
clean it and put a new filter on and then do the
cooler line thing. I
like that idea, never did it on the line but makes a
lot of sense on
your own car.

What I'd do on a new to me car with unknown crap in
the pan:
I'd buy a filter/gasket kit. Unhook the cooling line
into
the radiator. Maybe give the radiator a shot of air to
blow the oil in it back to the pan. Put a clear hose
on the cooling line, start the car, and run it until
bubbles appear. Shut off the car, pull the pan, change
the filter, dump a gallon of fluid in. Run the engine
until the fluid comes out clear, now you've got a
converter full of new fluid. Hook up the line to the
radiator, finish filling the tranny.
