Best way to drain the most fluid when servicing the transmission?

What do you guys think? Does leaving the pan off overnight help or does only so much fluid come out regardless of what you do? TIA

You will never get all the ATF out of the Torque converter by this method and more than half the fluid is in the Torque Converter.

I just took mine to an indy. They charged 440 bucks and that included a flush of the torque convertor.

I figured with the cost of fluid and stuff it was well worth it.

Hmmm. Just purchased the service kit CTSC. Might have to give it all to my indy and flush the torque converter. Thanks guys.
