Re: 04 Grand Prix GT transmission fluid change

Yeah, sometimes shops back flush the tranny. Washing all the little clutch particles and metal shavings out of the filter and right back into the valve body of the tranny. Then they drop the pan and change the filter and fill it up. Escentially wiping your butt before you poop.

Thanks again for all your help!!
Yes, this will get most all the fluid out. Like Bob said, you can install a drain plug in your pan, and then two weeks later come back and drain the fluid out and refill with new fluid again. Thus getting more of the initial dirty fluid out. Just an idea....
