This will give you about 75% new fluid as some old fluid will stay in the rack and lines. After a week of driving, repeat the procedure of drawing out the ATF and once again fill it with fresh, quality ATF. Now you have replaced 95%+ of the fluid and didn't have to dismantle anything to do it other than unscrewing the reservoir cap.
This takes only 5 minutes and the baster will cost about $2 at the grocery store.
