I'm at 30k miles, and about 6 autocrosses under my belt on that transmission, and have been thinking its a good idea to get it cleaned... so...
I read a thorough write-up about flushing the whole system over on either FJ or FF last week. It involves disconnecting the return line from the transmission cooler and then emptying some fluid and refilling, then running the car and rowing throw the gears to get the fluid circulating to remove more, add more fluid.. repeat as necessary. Then put it all back together.
Sounds like an all day process (and i really don't have all that much time on weekends) to get all of the fluid out of the system (including torque converter)... and I'm really considering having someplace do a flush & replace the filter.. but I'm guessing its going to be over $100 to have it done.
