I know that can bad if driven in this state for too long. I'd like to siphon some of my tranny fluid out. What is the best/quickest/easiest way to do this? Car is a '90 Mustang LX 2.3L Post #: 1

Just make sure the fluid isn't really hot or you will melt the tube or the diaphram in the pump. _____________________________ 2005 CHEVROLET COBALT SS/SC - GMPP STAGE 2 - GM DRILLED & SLOTTED ROTORS Pictures of my Cobalt SS/SC and my other cars: http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/cody02ss/my_photos (in reply to pete1665) Post #: 4

JC Whitney will probably have one. Check your local auto parts stores. Advanced Auto Parts may even do it for you. They will even come out and give your engine a code check if your light is on so you know what you are dealing with. _____________________________ '98 Mustang GT- Triple Black Convertible Gold Pony Graphics w/Gold Nose Pony Steeda Sport Springs, 3.73 Gears Tokico Struts & Shocks w/KYB Quads Magnaflow Catback, March Under Pulleys AF Plenum w/FR 70mm TB, BBK CAI EBC Rotors & Green "Snot (in reply to tictac) Post #: 10
