Is there something special about doing this ?. I seem to remember that taking off the 2 pans doesn't allow all the oil to flow out. Is it sufficient to just take off the pans clean the filter, refit and then refill, or is there something extra to do to get the remaining oil out ?

The torque converter will retain some oil - can't remember how much - the best you can do is remove & clear out the two sump pans.

my tc didnt have any oil in it *shrugs* ...i cant see anywhere for the gbox fluid to get to it either
-
how about the big hole up the middle of it ngrainqey ;) ;) ;)
-
oh right... *pretends to have known that*
i wondered why on the 2.5 when i bought it it had an oily like substance in the tc hole if you want to call it that
-
The TC attached to your engine didnt have any in it cos it all drained out when the engine was removed lol
-
You can also diconnect the oil cooler pipes and blow them through.
The clips can be undone with a pair of pliers. There is not a massive amount in there but it will refill when the clean stuff is put in and the box pump runs.

Thanks Guys, will attack tomorrow hopefully.
