Yeah, I use the same system that 4Crawler has. Don't forget to save the turkey baster for Thanksgiving. Your guests will wonder how you made such tasty gravy <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Don't forget your clutch system, too. I neglected it longer than I should have. No damage to the hydraulics, but the fluid that flushed out was completely black!

Nope, should be amber/straw colored DOT 3 fluid. Remember this stuff attracts water. That's a ditto on a complete flush about every 1-2 years, depending on your conditions.
