    The Impossible Tire Question

    I am looking to change the transmission fluid but want to do several flushes with Valvoline Maxlife Multi prior to dropping the pan. Has anyone drained the transmission fluid from the top fill hole? Are there any restrictions preventing this from working with a hand/vacuum pump on an 8HP70...
