change the fluid regularly and you will be fine. i beat the crap out of mine and it did awesome. for the 35k miles i had it for.
My Ranger didn't have a drain plug, so I would pump out a gallon (through the cooler lines) and replace with a fresh gallon. After pumping out the 4th gallon, I would pull the pan, and change the filter before replacing the 4th gallon. |

Zach, does the torque converter have a drain plug?

As for the torque converter I am not sure. I never drain it. I know the 4r100s had them. :D |

For the most part you are correct. In the case of my problem I was religious on my maintenance, filter replacement and fluid changes. Even with that, the transmission said FU and puked. So, no real guarantees, just possible insurance.

I wouldnt recommend a full flush. Just drop the pan replace the filter and refill. You want to just blend the fluids(old and new)

Thats how I have done it in the past. Works great and doesnt require any special tools or bleeding procedures.
