Default Flushing Trans Cooler Lines and Tank

Anyone have ideas on flushing the transmission cooler lines and tank without a compressor? I've got the rebuilt trans coming in on Thursday and the new converter coming in any day now so I want to be ready.

Talked to my rebuilder and Trans Flush is what he recommended.

He said that most auto parts stores carry it and there are several different brands like it out there. It just threads into your line and blast it out.

If I was putting in the money for a new trans and converter I would have the cooler professionally cleaned. It is cheap insurance to prevent problems with the rebuilders warranty. I would be surprised if the rebuilder would warranty the trans if he didn't clean the cooler himself.
