How do you remove the transmission oil in a mitsubishi FTO?

I could find the sump for the motor oil but couldn't see one for the transmission oil, anyone know how you remove it?How do you remove the transmission oil in a mitsubishi FTO?
You can only drain about 30% of the oil by removing the pan assembly.





Transmission fluid is renewed by flushing which requires disconnection of the oil cooler hoses and extension hoses to be fitted.





You can't just drain it all out as the majority stays in the torque converter and fluid lines.





Using the connections above, fresh oil is sucked from a full container and the old fluid is pumped from the box to an empty container.





You need about 5 gallons to do the job properly.How do you remove the transmission oil in a mitsubishi FTO?
take it to Jiffy Lube or similar lubrication shop and have them do a transmission flush, they attach a fitting to the transmission lines and with the vehicle running they vacuum out the old fluid, all the while replacing into the supply line, new fresh fluid until it it is completely changed, it's the only way to properly and completely change out your tranny fluid... it costs about 90.00 and is well worth it..
You got to take the transmission ban off.
I have a tow bar to fit FTO if your interested.
