Attention: TDR Forum Junkies PLEASE DISREGARD - I found what I was looking for after a more thorough search. Thanks and sorry for the post. I can't see how to delete this... .
===============================================
I'll be replacing the transmission filter on my 2003 (60K miles) and would like to do a FULL and COMPLETE oil change (going 100% synthetic) without pulling the torque converter.
On my '94, I removed one of the quick connects between the transmission and the cooler at the front of the vehicle. I then ran the trans in gear, wheels lifted, and let the TC push all remaining oil out.
I can't tell which line on my '03 is the return line so that I can attempt the same process. There's a front and a rear outlet/inlet line on the driver's side of the transmission. Which line is the return line from the cooler?
... and is this the prefered method for a complete oil change?
... is there a stock drain plug on the torque converter for this purpose?
Thanks for the help.

I had a brain tumor removed one year ago TODAY after 5 years of intense and unbearable pain. The surgery was extreme and complicated, but successful. Happy Anniversary to me!! I never thought I'd see 45...
