Your method is clearly superior....but for now I'm disinclined to to mess with the pan myself (I have irrational over-torquing fears, etc...  ). |
Changing ATF fluid in this manner is a bad plan for two reasons: first you are only getting half the fluid out. Several quarts will be left in the torque converter. Secondly the transmission filter should be changed at every fluid change.
Also, be extra careful in keeping the level correct. Too much fluid will blow out seals and too little will cause numerous problems.
