Car is a 1979 240D automatic, 123 chassis. Want to see if any one has used
a topsider to suck out old tranny fluid. Do I still need to rotate engine
and remove drain plug?
This job will include changing out filter unit as well. Any stories or

I used the $2 sucker to get the fluid out of my old Blazer (700R4) as
the fill tube has a straight shot to the bottom of the pan. Cleaned out

I used an old washing machine hose over the dip stick tube to remove the

That's a good idea, I did not think the tube goes all the way to the
bottom of the pan though (or there was something in the way). Next time
I take it off I'll have to check. On the GM tranny, the tube stops
before the bottom, but it points there, and the suck tube can slide all
the way to
Why not disconnecting the return line at the cooler and hooking up the
sucker there? Still won't drain the converter.
