I don't know about your 87, but I can drain the torque converter on my 79 and 82 models (123 and 126, respectively) and I believe jacking (with jack stands) the front gives more room to train the TC. Scott Ritchey -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Beh

Re: [MBZ] Jacking vehicle up to change ATF filter

Well, I suppose I was going to use a jack stand at least. That's about the best I can do. Also, yes, I was referring to doing a filter change. I just didn't know if - with pan removed - more fluid would be allowed to drain from somewhere in the tranny if the car was tilted one way versus the other

Okay, here's one of my famous basic questions: Since I only really have the ability to jack up one end of the vehicle, am I better off – in terms of maximum ATF drainage – jacking up the front, or the rear of the vehicle? I'm assuming the rear is the answer, but doesn't hurt to ask. Talking about

A slug is even better but the shotgun itself does not work so well in the home. It's too long, bangs into things & can't be brought up or pointed as fast as a handgun. Thanks, Tom Hargrave www.kegkits.com 256-656-1924 -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
