i'll figured it out...i did...too1). buy a battery filler/remover suction plunger (i paid $2.99). i guess you can buy a turkey marinader from the $.99 cent store. make sure the tube is thin and pretty long (you got to reach the bottom). open the cap and see how thin it needs to be before going to the $1 store. it has a squeeze thing on top and a long filler/remover tube. it is a perfect fit when you see the small opening in the the reservoir. get a plastic bottle to collect the old fluid (ie. coke bottle, gatorade bottle)2). clean around the the reservoir of any dust and sediment. open the cap and carefully clean the surrounding area. try not to get any dirt in the reservoir.3). use the filler/remover to siphon out the old fluid into the plastic coke/gatorade bottle.4). fill fluid back to proper level. drive around to let the fluid mix.5). repeat procedure day after day until the fluid is clean and without particles. i used mobil-1 synthetic atf. it seems to be smoother and easier to turn. i used a little more than half a quart.oh...if you used a marinader instead of the battery filler, make sure you don't use it on your food. might taste a little nasty...
