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.
