Re: 2005 Transmission Flush

On my Bravada, after changing the fluid and filter like you did, once a year I drew out a quart through the dipstick tube with a hand pump from Harbor Freight & added 1 qt. new fluid until the fluid got back bright red. It took about 5 years but it has 70K more miles now and a perfect transmission.

Re: 2005 Transmission Flush

disconnect the return line from the tranny cooler and let it flow into a bucket while you poor new fluid in the tranny filler hole. You will need a disconnect tool but they are cheap.
