Has anyone tried using the Mityvac evacuation system for draining transmission fluid

Has anyone tried using the Mityvac evacuation system for draining transmission fluid directly through the dipstick tube?

Can't say that I have....pretty easy on Honda's to drain and fill. I'd say easier than engine oil cause on most Honda's there is not a filter for the trans...What year/engine do you have?

I would only drain by using the drain plug, as a lot of gunk gets accumulated on the magnetic drain plug and it is good to periodically clean that stuff out.
