I've used the top-sider method to get most of the transmission fluid out prior to dropping the pan. The mess is minimized that way.

Howdy -- Is the Topsider appropriate to use for removing ATF from a 722.1 AT? Since MB stopped putting drain plugs on the AT oil pans it tends to be a little messy to loosen/remove the bolts and crack the pan enough for the ATF to run out. I was thinking I could vacuum the ATF out then go under the car and remove the pan, replace the filter and drain the torque converter. Sound like a plan? Or will the topsider not work in the AT for some reason?
