Idk. Never worked on that trans. My buddy said he would need to do a reverse flush for a full service.

wheres what i found...

Whatever you do CHANGE IT, DO NOT FLUSH IT!!!!!

Change it = drop the pan and drain it

When you flush the transmission, all the bits and pieces (from wear over the years) go all over the place/into gears etc.

Although I've done the flush ONCE, I was lucky and it didn't effect anything....but I also know few horror stories after flushes.

Rule of thumb, I just change it, no more flushes.
