Other means.
To change all the fluid you'll need about a dozen quarts of ATF. If you don't have a lift, put the car up on jack stands so the front wheels aren't touching the ground. Drain and drop the front pan and take out and clean the filter. Be sure not to lose the black rubber grommit on the filter. Drom the back pan too if you plan to do band djustments. Measure how much fluid came out. After you put the filter in and the pan (s) back on put the same amount of fluid you took out back in the tranny. Then, disconnect the return line from the transmission cooler where it connects to the transmission, and connect a section of clear hose to it long enough to reach out near the driver's door where you can see it. I used a section of hose that fit snugly on the banjo fitting in the end of the line. Also plug the inlet hole in the transmission where you disconnected the hose to keep debris out. Get a bucket and mark the inside of it in 1 quart incriments. Put the clear tube in the bucket (you may need to tape it or clamp it at the top to keep it in the bucket), start the car and put it in drive. The transmission will start pumping fluid out into the bucket. Once you hit the 1-quart mark, stop the car and add a quart to the transmission. Keep doing this in 1-quart intervals until the fluid coming out of the hose runs pink. Reconnect the hose to the tranny, drop the car back to level ground and check the fluid level with the car idling in neutral. Add what you need to top it off. This is the only DIY way I know of to get all the fluid out from the whole transmission, torque converter and all. Changing just what's in the pan replaces less than half of it. The tranny only holds about 8 quarts, get extra because this technique requires a little waste. I only ran the car in drive when pumping out the fluid. Another member recommended to run it through all the gears including reverse.
