Go with Kestas

Go with what Kestas told you to do. Unhook the return line to the pump and have an assistant turn the wheel back and forth and keep adding new fluid of about 2 quarts worth. That should flush all the old fluid out into a drain pan. Then rehook the hose and top fluid off. Dont run pump dry!

I would not reccomend using transmission fluid. The additives are different than the good old Bilstein PS Fluid. I think they are bad on the rubber o rings in the pump. I know, because I am presently rebuilding my own PS pump. Most euro parts shops carry the Bilstein fluid. It is a synthetic. Stick with the original. And use a quality Mann filter.
