Even though you'll only be changing half(A bit more than half) you'll be able to clean the pan, those three magnets, and most of the crud that causes problems sinks to the bottom of the pan, or sticks to the magnets anyway.

What about
: Draining old tranny fluid, putting in an EL cheapo tranny fluid and also adding Sea Foam Trans Tune, drive 5 or 10 miles, shifting thru all gears a few times during drive, and then remove el cheapo tranny fluid and sea foam trans tune, refill with high quality fluid. Wouldn't this be a more effective way to remove the fluid that is sitting in the torque converter? You may not get ALL of it, but you will probably get MORE of it out than you would on ONE pass of a fluid change and + having the sea foam trans tune in there would loosen up even more stuff right?
Tell me if my logic is right. Do you think the fluid in the torque converter that was sitting there during the "cleaning drive run" will have MOVED out and circulated thru the tranny after 5 or 10 miles while shifting? This is more towards a real FLUSH, but more like a DOUBLE DRAINING of the fluids while throwing in the sea foam trans tune.
If this is no good, is there a way to pressurize OUT the fluid from the torque converter? Could you pressurize thru the tranny fill hole and have it exit thru the drain plug/pan if the plug/pan were just open slightly enough to allow oil to come out, but not loose enough so that pressure would be lost?
What ya'll think about both ideas? I'm about to do all this so your opinions are awesome to have here.
