DFW volunteers? TQshift flush ???

[bushpilot]

lunch, dinner or beers on me....

Id like to flush the trans fluid on my torqu-shift automatic
trans...i really just would like someone to watch over me
thats been there/done that.

Im in the dallas area next week on biz <again>...i could
easily come up on sunday if anyone that has experiance
is available.

I have some evenings available too if thats better...and im
free thursday AFTER 12/noon.

THANKS in advance..and fwiw i would PAY IT FORWARD
and help others (in the houston area...or where ever my
future travels might take me).

Bushpilot, I just had BTS Brians Truck Shop do mine this past week and he said that he dropped the pan and felled it with 4 QT of new oil and flushed it out that way. He charged me for 16 Qt's of oil to do it. Truck had 25986 miles on it when I had him to do it. He filled it with the Schaeffer's Synthetic.

I'm not sure how different the TQshift is from the 4r100, but we just did a 4r100 last mod day. If BTS does the pan fill and cooler line drain method, then we should do it the same way. That's the only way to do one in the drive way. I may be free on Sunday afternoon to help you with this.

the torqshift shouldnt be any different really...
i dont have to drop the pan (since theres a drain/bolt in it).

i just wanna do the "cooler line" flush

Well, be sure to use Motorcraft fluid, to my knowledge none of the aftermarkets are compatable. -popcorn

Isn't it similar to flushing the 4R100 by disconnecting a fluid cooler line? I believe Bryan has experience with the 4R100 flush out but unsure when he'll be checking in due to out of state family obligations.

I'll be around this Sunday if you'd like me to come by and photo document the procedure and we'd finally get to meet eye to eye

Might as well change the filter as well.

yeah that could work...unless yall wanna do it one evening. (i have the
tp-roll factory filter (the one in the pan does not get changed, unless
there is considerable metal found in the fluid or on the drain plug).

the proceedure is fairly well documented (w/ photos) HERE

My place should be available for Sunday afternoon. John and I did his flush when we did his Sonnax last weekend. I did my flush about a year ago. Keep me posted on what you decide.

I dont think im gonna be able to get up there on sunday after all...
as much as i would LIKE to.

I plan to do the ball joints on my truck this saturday & i dont wanna
be rushed or get into a commitment that i might not be able to live
up to w/ y'all (dont want y'all waiting on me).

how bout beers / burgers etc one night next week <even if i cant
get the trans flushed> It would be good to meet yall !
