Stock suspension. Where I was parked, the front end was a bit lower than the back end, when pushing up on the front of the car, more oil would drain out. Next time I will park my car 180 degrees so the front end is higher than the back end or just raise the front of the car with my floor jack and see if that gets any more fluid out.

Like I said, I will probably do it again pretty soon because even though the ATF smelled normal (take enough baths in it installing shift kits and trust me, you know what ATF smells like!), it was quite dirty. I really don't feel like messing with the return line and pumping out every last drop of old ATF, but a couple more changes ought to get rid of most of the old stuff with very little effort. If I decide to install a shift kit, then I will deal with the magnets, screen, etc.

I wish I could have used B&M's Trick Shift ATF, I used it in my Accord, Chevelle and Cutlass with excellent results. Noticably firms up and quickens shifts. Unfortunately, on B&M's website, they say not to use in transmissions made after 2000. No idea why though.
