Re: [MBZ] Trans fluid changes
I did mine about a year ago, I think I might have used the $2 oil sucker to get a lot of the fluid out (I can't remember if it did or did not work on the Benz, it definitely worked on my truck and Caddie -- cleaned the pans nearly dry), still had to do the TC. Don't recall it being that messy though, or maybe my tolerance level is fairly high. I just put down some plastic sheet and newspapers and a big old dishpan and that works pretty well to catch most of the drainage. --R Marshall Booth wrote: [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It's hard to match the joy of lying on your back under your MB (on four jackstands) with transmission fluid running down your arms, ruining your clothes and staining the driveway surface.

[MBZ] Trans fluid changes
Ramps or jack stands work, BUT changing transmission fluid on a Mercedes is a MESSY job even with a pit or lift! It's hard to match the joy of lying on your back under your MB (on four jackstands) with transmission fluid running down your arms, ruining your clothes and staining the driveway surface. I change my trans fluid with my Visa card, now. Some tings just ain't wuth it. RLE/Seattle
