Will a hose reach down far enough, or does the fill tube go to the bottom? I don't recall this from my fluid change.

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?

You can of course use the Topsider to remove MOST of the fluid in the pan. Then the pan must come off to change the filter and the torque converter be drained.
