Fixed your post! Me like Click and Clack, would rather religiously change the fluid then take the chance on a parts replacer who didn't know how to operate the machine or a machine that took all the clutch with the fluid. There is no reason to get all the fluid out unless you've cooked it. For me a tranny temp gauge in my pan tells me when its time. Any time I hit 205 on the gauge.
