anyone ever here of this?

No, not tranny fluid but I knew a few guys who would run Number 2 fuel oil through it for a while to wash out their engines. They Also did it when an engine had been sitting a long time and had "frozen up"; poured it in the cylinders and let it sit for a day or two.

I may give that "flush" a try. Sounds like it would work to me. I figure it would clean the engine out faster to hold the RPMs at 4000 or more for at least 15 minutes.
