I (I know its bad practice) empty what i can form the bung and with the bung out remove one of the auto trans hoses from the radiator then start it for 5sec. turn off connect everything back up refill start run though the gears

then re drain from the bung only.

Its not good practice but i don't have one of those fancy machines.
