Thanks for the advice about the pump. I think I'm just going to go with the second idea and drain/ refill by one quart at a time. I think it would be too complicated to build a system that could pump in the same amount of fluid that gets pumped out (I don't have the tools or the time/money). I called around to a couple of quick change jiffy lube places and the cheapest price I got was 70 bucks but the problem is that they can only fill their flush machine with fluid that comes out of the transmission fluid gun while the mitsubishi requires a special type of fluid (I believe it's called 3diamond type something or other...) so the only other alternative is to go to a dealer or AAmco, which will both cost around 125 bucks. If I do it myself it will only cost me 50 bucks for the fluid. The same holds true for my nissan altima. I want to switch completely to mobil one synthetic trans fluid. My only question is about the transmission cooler circuit. I am unsure of the path the fluid takes. I am assuming that the supply to the cooler comes from the torque converter and the return from the cooler drains back into the pan. The only reason I'm worried about this is since I will be draining the return from the cooler into a bucket; I don't want to be starving a vital part of the trans of fluid, like the valve body. If anyone could help me with this I'd appreciate it. thanks!!
