That's a good idea, I did not think the tube goes all the way to the
bottom of the pan though (or there was something in the way). Next time
I take it off I'll have to check. On the GM tranny, the tube stops
before the bottom, but it points there, and the suck tube can slide all
the way to the bottom.

I used an old washing machine hose over the dip stick tube to remove the
excess fluid, good fit. It worked very good because the tube goes down to
the pan. I don't think you will drain the converter this way though. In
addition you should change the filter. I was a little worried that the
vacumn might disturb some small parts in the tranny.

I used the $2 sucker to get the fluid out of my old Blazer (700R4) as
the fill tube has a straight shot to the bottom of the pan. Cleaned out
all but a little bit. I don't think you can do that with the 123
tranny, I vaguely recall trying and I don't think the suck hose will go
down very far.

Car is a 1979 240D automatic, 123 chassis. Want to see if any one has
used
a topsider to suck out old tranny fluid. Do I still need to rotate
engine
and remove drain plug?
This job will include changing out filter unit as well. Any stories or
hints you could share please?
