Re: IML: poor man's tranny fluid change

["Jerry hesch" <jerryhesch@xxxxxxx>]

I recall that one of my 70's or 80's vehichles had a bolt under the bell 
housing of the tranny so that it oo could be drained.  then this disappeared 
on that model.  My understanding is that a fluid change typically does not 
remove the fluid from the bell housing unless you do that $75.00+ changes 
that claims to suck out 98% of the fluid.
This poor boy drains and replaces fluid then drives the vehichle and repeats 
the process 3x.  It is time consuming but cheaper than the above.  I defer 
replacing filter and gasket to every other and have not noted the filter to 
be "dirty".  I believe that by diluting the fluid it in essence "changes the 
fluid" in the bell housing.  Checking the label reveals that off-brands 
often have same manufacturer as the expensive name brands of fluid.
Comments? My economy should change soon so I may beable to adoptamore ideal 
modus operandi change fluido de transymissioni en carro generico.
