replacing atf fluid?

[tamrat]

how i drain the old fluid? I had removed some of it (maybe) when i tried to take out my radiator. There were these two little tubes that run from the gearbox to the bottom of the radiator. But there is still some fluid left when i check by the dipstick. how do i remove this? What are the procedures to replace it?

Remove the bulk of it via the sump plug on the trans, undo the hoses from the rad (trans cooler/warmer upper) and drain what ya can, do whatever you want to do with the rad,
refill once hoses and plug (and rad)are back on, to the dip stick mark, start her up and allow to get to temp on a level surface, shift through all the gears and re check the level, add some if req or loosen a hose if theres too much, do this routien till its on the dip stick mark and roberts ya fathers brother!!
to properly "change" ALL the fluid ya need two buckets and a couple gall of atf, ubdo the hoses extend them into the buckets, start it up and whichever hose pumps into a bucket add the new fluid to the other one, do this till new clean fluid pumps out and shut down and reconnect the hoses, recheck the level by the previous method
proper garages have a machine that basicly does this without all the bucket messing about
