I have a '94 525i. I had replaced transmission filter, gasket and oil (whatever came out with the oil pans), about 3 qts. 2 years ago. The car has 104,000 miles on it. I want to flush the transmission, including torque converter this time. Can some one please let me know how to do this. Or can it be done? Thanks,
SK

Just drain and fill 3 times. In between the drains... drive a hundred miles... This will dilute the old fluid so it is msjority new fluids... Otherwise, you can pay $80 to have it done at Juffy lube and so on... this is assuming you have a tranny that uses Dextron fluids.

if you change your oil every 3k miles, then just change the tranny fluid at every oil change, and it will be flushed every year, without too much effort. if you do it every 6k, then you may as well do it the way tiger says, easier that way.
