Re: Can you drain most of the ATF fluid.
The torque converter holds about 1.5 qts(not sure what that is in metric exactly) and you can only get that out by completely removing the transmission. And the only way to get as much as possible out is by removing the pan and letting it sit open for the fluid to slowly drip out for a day or more. I had my pan off my transmission for about 2 days and had to put around 7 qts (again, not sure on metric amt) to get it back to full.
