I recently saved a Toyota of mine by doing an overly late and very necessary transmission flush.

The method for this is to:

1. Disconnect a transmission cooler line, put it into a bucket, turn the car on and place in neutral to engage the pump and drain out all the fluid into bucket until it starts to sputter empty.
2. Put in park, shut engine off, reconnect tranny cooler line.
3. Turn engine on, set parking brake, place in neutral, and start re-filling the fluid from the dipstick neck.
4. Drive for a few miles through all gears and check to top off. 

Does anyone see a problem with this method on a 454 Chevy Transmission? Worked very well for a Toyota Truck. Here's a video actually where I learned this method.

I have a set of the HF torque wrenches and they really arent that bad. I have a Craftsman digital torque wrench and  for ft lbs the HF is usually within 2-3% depending on  how high the  wrench is set.
