The easiest deal is to get some clear tubing....like 9 feet worth....of the largest size which will fit into your trans dipstick tube ( with some air space around it... for syphoning or sucking you have to allow air to take up the space evacuated by the fluid ).... a Mityvac could be used to start it... although I did not... get clear so you don't have transmission breath afterwards... LOL .... just get it started as far as the side of the car and stick it down into a gallon bottle.... then go take a break because it does not drain fast....
