P/S fluid flush

[Blue60]

Getting ready to flush the system after new install of "OEM' setup. Just a couple of questions....

(1) Manual says to use Dextron type ATF, all I can find is Dextron II ATF, is this O.K.? I take it that I am not using P/S fluid...

(2) To flush the pump my plan is to run fresh fluid thru the top of the pump resevoir, and catch what comes out the H/P line. Will spinning the pump pulley by hand suffice to push fluid thru the pump and out the H/P line?

(3) Do I need to flush the P/S gearbox? It's a new remanufactured OEM P/S gearbox from Cruiserparts.net.

Any other insight/tips/techniques are appreciated...

Keep on Cruising!

I worked for a Quaker State place for about a year and a half. We had a kit that came with two bottles. One that you would suck the old crap out with, and another that you would fill it with. You would then crank the wheels lock to lock back and forth for a bit. After that you sucked the "flush" and rest of the crap out. Seemed to work pretty well. Cant remember who makes the kit tho.

I bet it was made by BG - should be available at a parts store....
