Change automtic trans fluid

What is the best way to change all the tans fluid in my '96 automatic? I want to change to snythetic. Is there a way to unhook a trans line and pump the old fluid out and replace with new?

Yeah, there's a sticky in the Fluid and Lubricants forum. Basically, disconnect the transmission fluid return line, turn the car over for 15s and empty about two qts of fluid into a container. Replace with two qts of new fluid and repeat five or six times.

B&G flush and fill is the absolute best at a good dealer. The best Transy investment ever.. Your shift will be like butta.
