1. OK to do a tranny filter and fluid change with the front end higher than the rear?
2. I want to empty it completely out, can I rotate it while still in park or does it need to be in neutral?

Thanks.

I was skeptical at first about these tranny flushes. The one where they connect a gizmo to the car and flush the entire sytem including the lines and torque converter. However after being allowed to watch the procedure and examine the results I was convinced that this is the best way to due a "TOTAL " flush and refill.
MB's need special attention paid to the tranny service intervals as well as procedure. You may want to investigate this.
As for your question I would think 1 is OK , I am not sure what you mean by question 2 - do you mean to get torque converter to drain?
