You seem to have the drive and willpower to succeed, Saakey! And if you decide that you're not willing, I'm only 100-ish miles from DC :D

Perhaps, if time will allow :D again, I have faith in you. But, I've been meaning to take a trip down to the city for other reasons, so if our schedules lined up I'd be down to lend you a hand or two.

Is that an open invitation to help with the flush? 8) I take it you have done this before and are familiar with doing it?

Doing a gibson style ATF flush is fairly easy. I've done in three times on my P2 that has 187k miles on it now. This video gives all the details.

Ah, very nice... exactly what I was looking for. πŸ‘
Now why didn't I just look for that myself. :lol:

The Gibson method uses guitars to flush.

πŸ˜€

The gibbons method is the name used here for the active flush, but watch out for this Gibbon working on your car…
