someone .......... mentioned to me that the torque convertor could be 'drilled' ........ a hole drilled into it - the fluid purged ..... and then plugged ..........
.
???
.
I would not try that in a million years .......
.
I like the idea of the Aamco flush ........ that appears to be an effective way to change all the fluid ......... and that is an easy way for Aamco to bring in some money with a small amount of labor involved .......... they don't need to drop the pan ..... and the crossmember and/or exhaust system, etc. if it is required ......
.
less comebacks due to pan leaks ........ etc etc. .........
.
regardless ......... I feel the filter should still be changed .......
.
I will probably get the fluid flushed - and then drop the pan, change the filter, and add new fluid to top it off.
.
btw: beware of Aamco ....... that organization has been in trouble more than a few times ..... the ones in my area had a rotten reputation ........ Two examples: told someone they needed a new/rebuilt trans when a simple vacuum leak was the problem. Another time told someone they needed a new/rebuilt
trans when a $10 vacuum modulator was the problem.
