I didn't mention it in this post, but have in past post about this. I helped the guy at jiffy lube do it. There machine is in back behind their bays. Plan and simple it took them an hour and half to do it and i didn't have to get dirty. I'm all for some wrench time, but when it comes to making a mess in my garage dropping the fluid i simply don't have the want.

 

*Update*

I got everything changed out this afternoon. All in all, it didn't go too bad and, somehow, I managed to not coat the entire driveway with tranny fluid.

I took it for a test drive and it definately shifted a lot smoother than it did before.

Thanks again for the help.

 

how many quarts did you end up putting in ? and you just did a drop and two filters ?

 

Yep...dropped the pan and changed out both filters. It ended up taking 8 qts.

Since I didn't do a full flush, I might change the filters again in the next 10k - 15k.

 

When i did mine i used 17 quarts

 

How did you get it all out? I need to do this myself since I just bought mine with 105,000 on it and from the looks of things the previous owner wasn't too concerned with regular maintenance.

 

I disconnected the 3/8 trans cooler lines by the radiator and started the truck for a few seconds to pump out the old fluid and then refilled the pan. Did this over and over.

 

Gotcha. I have swapped the fluid in my cherokee by sticking the return line in a bucket of new fluid and placing the other line in an empty bucket before. Was wondering if that is how you did it.
