drain torque converter

[pithicus]

I was wondering if putting a vehicle on a steep grade eg 45 degrees would help drain the excess fluid from a torque converter? It seems logical, but a google search of 'steep grade drain torque converter' found nothing relevant,
The trans is an a440f. I am going to test this soon to compare level ground atf drain [usually 5 liters] and 45 degrees drain. Anybody tested this?

Nah wont work ... cause there are drain back valves etc etc and it wont just drain out. if you want to change its fluid. Pull a hose from the cooler line, start truck up, drain lets say 2 L. Stop truck. Add 2 L. Keep doing that until the fluid that is coming out runs clearer like new fluid.
