At $2.00 a quart for trans fluid you can change out 75 quarts yourself.

What you want to do is drain and refill the trans, while it safely supported by jack stands.
4 quarts will drain out quickly, and 6 if you let it drain for two hours.
If you do this four times, driving it for a day after each drain and fill, you will have MOSTLY changed out all of the fluid.
And having done it yourself, not forced the seals askew with the high pressure MOST trans fluid exchangers use.
You have only spent $32-$48, and you have NOT DAMAGED your trans in the process.


P.S.
Have a friend lift up on the hood as you pull the hood release.
