ATF change 700R4
My trans fluid is brown and smelly. So I have dropped the pan (makes great hair gel), and drained the trans. How do I get the stuff out of the converter, or does it stay there or what? This car is new to me, it could be the opriginal fluid for all I know (86000 miles). Any recomendations on fluid?

Thanks for that, but what about getting the old fluid out?
Should I put some cheap stuff in , let it slosh around for awhile then go to Mobil 1 - or.......?

tought to get it all out without dropping the torque converter, but I get a fair amount out by unhooking the cooler lines at the radiator, and idling the car a couple mins.

:cheers: Search the archives, there are probably more posts on this subject than any other.
In short, disconnect the hose at the RAD, put the discharge (flow to RAD )hose in a bucket to catch the old fluid.
Add and keep adding lots of new fluid as a friend starts and stops the engine to be sure the tranny doesn't run out. Will take 13+ quarts
