Abstract
An apparatus for removing used transmission fluid from an automatic transmission of a motor vehicle wherein a cylindrical reservoir having a rotating wand therein for dividing the reservoir into two chambers, said first chamber being connected to the transmission fluid outlet of the transmission and said second chamber being connected to the fluid input of a transmission fluid cooler wherein the second chamber is initially filled with fresh fluid forcing the wand toward the first chamber and wherein the fluid exiting the transmission due to the pump in the transmission fills the first chamber and forces the wand to rotate to expel fresh fluid form the second chamber into the cooler and the transmission.
Claims7
A total fluid exchange system for vehicles having an automatic transmission and a fluid cooling circuit including the transmission and a fluid cooler with interconnecting fluid flow lines therebetween, said system including:
- a. means for interconnecting the system into a selected one of the fluid flow lines;
- b. means for introducing an additive into the transmission and fluid cooling circuit prior to fluid exchange to aid in cleansing of said automatic transmission and said fluid cooling circuit;
- c. a source of fresh fluid for exchange with used, spent fluid existing in the circuit;
- d. transmission fluid exchange means for proportionately exchanging used, spent fluid in the transmission and the fluid cooling circuit with new fluid;
- e. means for determining the clarity of the used, spent fluid and the clarity of the fresh fluid to determine the total replacement of the used, spent fluid with fresh fluid.
