ok i have decided to tackle the shift kit this weekend myself while doing the Evo 16g install! i have full 3 days off whichi plan to spend in the garage.
Now my question is after i do the shift kit, i wil lput a new filter in aswell. Now I would liek to flush the fluid with some synthetic. I spoke to a shop and said that the machine for flushing is not uised on the newer autmatics as it causes problems and can blow seals. So He told me that basically all he will do to flush it is run 2 buckets
one for the dirty fluid and one for the clean fluid and unplug the cooler and have it suck in by itself. anyone can comment on this procedure? does it actually work or does it have to go on the machine.. because if i do a filter change and shift kit i will have to top up the tranny with 6-7 quarts of fluid to be able to drive it to the shop to run another 12 quarts through it for the flush... now that sounds expensive to me... i was just gonna have the shop do the shift kit since it had to go on the machine and might aswell get everything done at the same time without wasting fluid but if i can do it myself then i will. THanks
