Good idea. But you still need to take off the pan and see what is in there and put on a new filter. What's in the bottom of the pan will tell you a lot about the condition of the tranny. Maybe drop the pan first, clean it and put a new filter on and then do the cooler line thing. I like that idea, never did it on the line but makes a lot of sense on your own car.
Manfred Date: Sat, 10 May 2008 08:24:12 -0400 From: Mitch Haley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> What I'd do on a new to me car with unknown crap in the pan: I'd buy a filter/gasket kit. Unhook the cooling line into the radiator. Maybe give the radiator a shot of air to blow the oil in it back to the pan. Put a clear hose on the cooling line, start the car, and run it until bubbles appear. Shut off the car, pull the pan, change the filter, dump a gallon of fluid in. Run the engine until the fluid comes out clear, now you've got a converter full of new fluid. Hook up the line to the radiator, finish filling the tranny. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
