AW4 Changing Filter and fluid. (1998 4.0L, AW4)

[Xtreme XJ]

I would get it up to temp. park it and while running feel the two lines near the trans. on the pass. side. may take a few mins. to get a difference in line temp.
I THINK it the forward line of the two... I should know this I've only done it like 6 or 7 times...
Get your bucket ready put a piece of old hose on the end of the ridge line aim it into the bucket and have a helper fire up the XJ... if it pumps out of the hose ... out of the trans. at the fitting you want the return line AT the trans. so the coolers will be flushed.
Run it for a few seconds then shut it off... add a few Qts. then run it again... do this a few times till the fluid runs bright red... I have them shift it also so the fluid works it's way through those passages too. Foot on the brake obviously...
Have all the fluid and such 10 or so Qts. ready...
I feel this gets 90+% of the fluid transfered... coolers & lines... I haven't worried about the trans. SCREEN in years.
I call it my Dirtbilly trans. flush.

Good Luck !

I had a look at a mates old radiator and I think it will be the top line to remove from the trans.
