You cannot drain the torque converter, member zip439 recommends changing the fluid 3 times with about 20 miles driving between changes.
That would work, but the fluid is pretty expensive.
I'm have been happy with just the one change.
( why do you think you need to replace the conductor plate ? )
~ I feel that with the 0600 code I got, that it may be bad...not for any thoroughly logical troubleshooting reason though...
~ Thanks, I read what zip wrote, and have considered that method, I am intrigued by the the evacuator pump idea that you mentioned. So, my question is about the operation of that device. Do you simply insert a supplied hose into the dipstick tube fully and start the process until no more fluid comes out? Then remove the pan next? This avoids having a full catch pan beneath the vehicle since most of the fluid is in the evacuator?
~ Also, concerning the pigtail connector that looks to be folded and clipped to the rear side of the pan...Are there are connectors on both ends? Can you direct me to a link describing the connector and /or pigtail replacement? ...Thanks
