I usually take a long piece of tubing, connect it to what ever is being flushed, fill it with brake cleaner and blow it out with compressed air.

The best option is a Hot Flush, it will circulate/pulsate hot trans fluid. But from a DIYer perspective. They make a can of trans flush you can hook up to the lines. Make sure they are very clean, if not the debris can wreck havoc on the new trans.

Is that a mineral or water based flush? I personally would stay away from any water based flush products.

Good point, I just found a quick picture of flush in a can. I am not that familiar with it, so thanks for asking.

As per Vince's recommendation, I used a bottle of mineral spirits to flush my lines. I had an old fuel pump that worked, so I hooked it up and pumped a full container through. It cleaned out a lot of trash and debris. Afterwards, I pumped three quarts of tranny fluid through and then hooked everything up. Worked like a champ and I was very pleased with the results. Might have been overkill, but I wasn't taking any chances with that new tranny.
