The IronMan has been sitting with most of the tranny exposed for two weeks now and the most I've managed to extract is a little over 5 quarts. I'm convinced the remainder of what's reasonable to get out is tied up in the torque converter, but the 4L30E converter doesn't have a drain plug. I've rotated completely many times and one still hasn't appeared, even magically. Even the Mity-vac was unable to pull more than a few ounces of additional fluid.

So I most humbly offer my apologies for not being able to deliver on this one folks.:sighg:

I'll put up what I did accomplish and photograph on my website and will provide a link, which will hopefully help somewhat. Although I'm not giving up and will pursue more info on the 4L30E and DIY maintenance. I just wanted to update any waiting for this info as to my lack of success thus far.

Again, my apologies.
