From above....yes it is a slow process adding 15 qts of ATF pouring through the fill tube.

You will have to shut off the motor (stop the tranny pump) while filling, no way you can keep up with it running. Well actually... there is a way, but it involves a flush machine.

I made an experimental flush machine out of a 5 gal plastic bucket. I'll try to get some pics of it next time I'm in the attic. Basiclly it is a plastic pressure vessel (I know...oxymoron) but I did test it and it held 15-20 psi without blowing up LOL. It will force the ATF in the return line. I drilled a hole and put in a valve stem, and used a small 12 volt air pump to keep the pressure up while flushing, but I still needed to shut down the truck to keep up with the tranny pump (that pump is fast).
