I am trying to do the trans flush procedure as described in this and the Taurus forums as they use the same trans, on my 2000 Winny, with 100k miles. Since I already had spliced into the return line to install an aux. cooler, I just disconnected the line coming from and under the radiator. I ran the engine in all of the gears to get all of the fluid that I could, however, I only got 5 qts. that way and 1 qt. from the removed bottom trans pan. There's supposed to be another 6 qts. to come out I understood, but I don't know where it is or how to get it out. The only thing I can think of is the angle of the van on the ramps is too steep as it's already parked on an uphill slope. I did notice an Allen screw or plug on the underside of the trans but I don't want to be wrong taking it out to drain it. Is there possibly a drain plug? Am I maybe connected incorrectly to pump it out with the trans pump? I'll look into if there is trapped fluid in the cooling loop between the trans, rad. cooler, the aux. cooler, and the trans.
Thanks in advance!
