Solvent to dissolve transmission fluid?
My question is: I just replaced the differential fluids, transmission fluid and used my garden sprayer. I want to do brake fluid in a few weeks. Would you recommend a solvent that will dissolve the thick transmission fluid or should I use the paint thinner/water method, or would you not recommend using the same tank for brake fluid? I appreciate your thoughts. Tom

  You have got to post pictures of this process.

Sequel, sounds like a cool system but I'd go for a brake fluid dedicated pump.
No xpert, but the indie m'cycle shop(s) I have hung around the past 40+ years all use a brake fluid only, dedicated pump for brake fluid, and a multi-use pump for other fluids. I personally wouldn't want to goof around with contamination possibilities on brake fluid...fwiw. GL,mD

Thanks for the thoughts
QuickSilver and Motordavid, I appreciate your comments. Over the weekend, I used some Orange-based cleaner with warm water to clean out my pressure tank, which is a garden sprayer with new hose and a pressure gauge drilled into the tank to monitor the pressure. There is still a thin film of transmission fluid, so I plan to buy a new one man brake fluid pump/tank from BavAuto. I use the garden sprayer apparatus for diff fluids, tranny fluids on my 2003 X5 and on my wife's Honda Pilot. Having two tanks for this purpose is smart, especially with possible contamination of brake fluid. Motordavid, thanks. QuickSilver, I've attached a link to making one of these pumps yourself. While it was fun to make it, I think buying one is a lot easier and the $20 savings by doing it myself cost me a couple hours in running around looking for correct parts. here is the site in case you have not seen it: http://www.bmw-m.net/TechProc/bleeder.htm
