Re: 2001 SEL 62k Trans flush & compass questions
If you unhook the trans line, run it into a contaqiner, and then start the engine, the entire trans and torque converter will be pumped empty. As soon as the flow stops, then shut off the engine. This "dry period" should not hurt the trans since I have done this many times.

Use only Mercon 5 or what is required and it may take abouyt 14 quarts if you pump it all out.

The compass may be a bad compass itself.
