From what I can tell, you are only going to get about half of the fluid out with this method. I started the car for a moment and ran the gearbox through PNR1&2 but of course you can't get into 3&4 without the car moving. I've got about six quarts out now. I think it holds 9-10 quarts, so some will remain in the converter.

Also, my plastic sight tube for checking the fluid level was very dirty both externally and internally. I removed it using the BIGGEST flat head screwdriver I had, and had to clean it with shop solvent to get the filth off the inside. It was so opaque that it was difficult to see the fluid level at all.

I am unsure of whether a system/procedure exists to remove the total capacity--but would be interested in finding out.
