I had my tranny fluid flushed and they have almost a quart too much in. What's the best place to remove it. One of the lines?

 

Just remove the fill bolt on the drivers side of the trans and let it pour out until its level with the hole. If you can stick your finger in and feel fluid your fine. Otherwise, there's too much. Make sure your car is level at the time.

Damn, just noticed you have an A4. That might not work.

 

bring it back where you had it done, make them do it

 

dipstick hole is pretty easy you can even stick a hose down the tube and pump it out

 

I had it done over 6 months ago and really don't trust them since they couldn't do it right the first time. I don't have a pump or tube that will fit down the pipe. Just wondering it there's a plug or something on the block of the tranny or a splice in the line I can lossen.

 

The only other way to remove the fuild other than the dipstick area is to remove the pan. Which means you would have to refill it again.

 

This is how I did it. I just bought a little pump with a small hose I could stick down the dipstick tube. Very easy to pull fluid out that way. Check the marine section of your local auto parts store.

 

You could try removing the driveshaft and jack up the car in the front. The fluid will run out the DS end.

 

When my tranny got flushed I saw the guys disconect a metalic line that goes from the tranny to my radiator.... hooked it up to a flushing machine that injected new Tranny fluid the the other disconected end of that line..

I am thinking maybe just maybe thats a tranny fluid line that can be disconected to bleed some of the Oil and then if you bleed too much simply ad some more through the tranny dipstic opening...

Disconnect the rubber line on the tranny cooler lines that run into the radiator.
This is easier if you have an aftermarket cooler, but can be done with the radiator cooler line.
The top line is return, so I would disconnect the clamp off the rubber hose and let some run out and then clamp it back up. Best done with the car jacked up and done from underneath.

 

I have been told by several ppl that it wont hurt an automatic if its overfull on the stick a little. They said that the worst that would happen is that it would come out the vent.

what if the vent is clogged up...

Driveshaft

 

I ended up disconnecting the bottom cooler line to the radiator. Nothing really came out, so I started the car for 2 seconds. It really came out then. I got about a quart to come out in 2 seconds. Worked out good except I missed my bucket and got fluid all over.

 

live and learn..... Do the tranny fluid yourself next time. Atleast you'll know weither you did something the right or wrong way.
