Not sure how this would work but the cross over tube got me to wondering. Naturally, this would require keeping pouring fluid in all the time to keep it in the system.
There are companies that would "change" the fluid but does their way also replace the fluid in the torque converter?

Like I said there is no "simple" way to do it... OT once suggested to get a 50 gallon barrel about 2ft above the car... Take off the outgoing line from the radiator... start the car and let the old fluid run out the bottom while the barrel filled with new oil fills through the Inlet line... This takes some ingenuity and a lot of oil which costs $10 per quart
...
So the best way IMHO is the procedure which I have already described. Say in about 7000 miles... do it again and you should have most of the old fluid out of the trans
