Great Tool For Changing Torque Converters And Trans Fluid This tool helps keep your floor free of oil and helps immensely when pulling an automatic transmission. It has many other uses for evacuating fluids and once you have one you will wonder how you got along without it.
When pulling an oil pan or getting ready to pull a trans, just insert the evacuation hose into the dipstick tube and suck out all the oil!

It Will Remove MOST Of The Fluid You should always drop the pan and CHANGE THE FILTER if you have accumulated many miles. A large number of transmission failures are due to clogged filters which reduces line pressure and causes the slipping, resulting heat, and eventual failure.
The reason this tool is so great is because you can drop the pan without getting a drop on yourself or the floor after you have removed most of the fluid. Without the tool, you can count on about a quart of fluid drooling down your arms.

I always do drop the pan, and I have a drain plug on my pan anyway. I was just wondering if you could get the amount of fluid pumped out like you could with one of the fluid exchange machines some dealerships have.

Be careful of some of the dealer's oil flush process. My nephew is a Tech at a large ford dealer and all they do is hook the machine to the cooler lines to exchange the old oil. Since the oil flowing through the cooler lines is only a bypass flow, they are only diluting the old oil with new. I guess that is why they call it a flush instead of oil change.
