If you drain out only SIX quarts, then half of the burnt trans oil is still in there. Whats left behind will contaminate what you put in.
After you drain and refill it drive it for a day or so to thoroughly mix the new oil with the cruddy oil.
If you drain and refill twice, you now have, roughly nine clean quarts and three dirty quarts.
If you do the drain and refill three times, its now starting to get clean.
Two cases of genaric trans fluid is about $25.00. A new trans filter and gasket are about $25.00.
A new transmission is alot more.
Ps; use Dexron 3.
