I learned that for some F'd up reason Allison leaves about 2 gallons in the pan after you've "emptied" the trans fluid, so....
knowing this allowed me to head off an awkward situation laying on my back, I really did not want to take a "tranny fluid shower".
I made a little wooden platform for my bottle jack and after slowly lowering the pan a few inches I used a vacuum tank to suck all but a few ounces of fluid out of the pan. This worked beautifully. Almost no metal sludge on the two large magnets after 60,000 on a light RV towing pampered 2020 Chevy 2500 diesel pickup. Trans fluid had darkened considerably but still smelled "good".
Ya gotta love Youtube, a video posted voluntarily made the job easy peasy, lemon squeezy!
