Changing transmission fluid, 02 XJR.

Changing transmission fluid, 02 XJR.
I'm about to change the transmission fluid on the 02 XJR. Does anyone have any tips? How does one get around the problem that there is a large volume trapped in the torque converter? I am thinking of just changing the fluid a few times, which will ultimately dilute the volume in the torque converter sufficiently.
I have seen tricks on the interweb, involving disconnecting at the transmission cooler, and collecting what comes out with the engine running, to overcome the torque converter problem. Has anyone tried this?

Answer no, but opinion. Once you have cleaned the pan and swapped the filter there will be very little particulate matter to remove.
I replaced my filter on the first drain, then did so again after three cycles and the filter was still very clean. That's on my XK8, but I don't think it makes a lot of difference with the Merc.

I changed mine four times over the course of a week or so, driving and running thru the gears each time. I would say I got 90% of the old stuff out.
Make sure you use the correct ATF! Shell 134 ATF is available cheap by the case at Ryder Fleet Products online and is correct for the Merc tranny in your XJR.

You have to remove the fuel injection fuse to ensure the engine
does not start.
Fill, crank, fill, crank .....
Barbed NPT fittings will fit loosely in the threaded openings.
Easy to observe for clean fluid if you use clear hose.
Anchor the end of the hose really well. It will flail like a loose
garden hose otherwise and spray ATF all over the place.
The same routine works for flushing the power steering
except that you manually crank the wheel from lock to lock.

I think it would be a good idea on the first change to clean out the pan, and change the filter, to get any debris out.
But then if you wanted to just replace the fluid a couple more times after that, to get a close to 100% change, I can't see anything wrong with using the hose down the dipstick tube.
I think that's my plan, right now.

This thread is about changing the fluid in the 722.6 transmission in the XKR/XJR. It would be better if you open a new thread to discuss the 5HP24.
