Fluids Flush

[uscharalph]

One of my next projects is to flush whatever fluids I haven't done yet. Oil and coolant are done and I'm pretty clear on what I'm going to do on the ATF.

Does anyone have any tips or step by step writeups on the: (1) Brake Fluid and (2) Power Steering?

Thanks, I totally had a brain fart and forgot that site??? Does anyone have any M20 specific suggestions or things to watch out for?

But, what about traction control? The Bentley says I can't safely bleed my brakes without special equipment if I have traction control - ASC+T - true or not?

Ralph,

I was told that unless I knew that my PO had routinely flushed the tranny, not to do it. What was recommended was to drop the pan, change/clean the filter, and top off the fluid.

That's actually what I meant by: "I'm pretty clear on what I'm going to do on the ATF."

Thanks, we actually can't bring certain tips up too often.
