Explorer Sport Trac? I'm trying to "flush" the transmission fluid on my 01 Ford Sport Trac. I think I know the way how but I would really like a second opinion or someone to say i'm right. From what I have been told, you disconnect the line that runs from the transmission to the transmission cooler and place it in a measured (quarts) bucket. You start the truck and let the transmission pump the old fluid out and you just add a quart for every quart that is pumped out. You should be able to pump out about 16-19 quarts before you start seeing new fluid? Does this way really work? Is there another way to do this? Does anyone have pictures of the lines that I should disconnect? I am pretty good with tools and do all my own work on my truck like fluid changes and such but a transmission flush is new to me and I won't pay some goofball 120 bucks to do it. I really want to do this myself. If someone could explian it to me or link a write-up I would greately appreciate it.
