I've seen pictures of a setup where one hose goes to a big funnel hanging up in the air, where you're pouring new bottles of ATF.
The other hose goes down into another bucket to collect the dirty oil.
Problem is, I don't know which hose is supply & which is return...

If you drain/fill an auto-tranny, the torque converter never drains. So you only get about 1/3 of the fluid. The method for doing this, is drive around for a day or 2 & then drain/fill it again. And again... until the fluid drains out clean.

Ok, well apparently the tranny guy my dad knows ran all the diagnostic tests and said they were all fine. Al the guy did was add a Honda addictive into the tranny fluid because it was never added. I haven't driven the car yet but my dad and the guy said it is fine, so I'll drive it and see if the slip stopped.

Well I was driving my car to school today and got the usuall 1-2 misshift and unexpectedly the tranny slipped the same way from 2-3. This really sucks and the tranny is getting worse. I pray that I get my plumbing job after HS so I can buy a new car. I can't believe this just happened

I'm not aware of an ADDITIVE. Honda ATF is the fluid itself, not an additive.

Well I wish I was there so I could tell you but I wasn't. That's all I know of that was done the the car. It's doomed soon that's all I know. Hopefully it can last me a bit longer. I swear, If I can get enough money by next year, I will buy my mom's leased 07 accord V6!

I think it was $4500 ..... probably cheaper since that was before our economy took a dump.
