700r4 full of engine coolant, how to remove most efficiently?

trans cooler in the radiator corroded and leaked all my engine coolant into the 700r4 trans in my 91 S10 pickup

it still runs fine and ok.

although i didnt know it was happening until i noticed a few days ago that it was slipping some in reverse wouldnt go for a few seconds when first fired up cold.

i dropped the pan and replaced two gallons of trans fluid so far but its still very bright pink full of watered trans fluid badddd alottt.. didnt even make a different in the color at all.

i need an efficient way to get out as much of this pink watered fluid as possible

for now ive added an air cooler for the transmission, til i find another internal trans cooler or whole radiator i could take the cooler out of the 1994 K1500 radiator, we are partingf out a whole truck)



any ideas?

this sux. horrible 2012 so far wow..

i might be vehicle-less really super soon if the trans drops due to this... hmm.. i read that the clutch pack discs like to delaminte when they are watered like this?

is that true?

rusting parts inside the trans is really bad enough, theres already some surface rust beginning on the upper trans dipstick hmm....

this aint the first time ive sene this happen, these damn radiator trans fluid cooler, i tell you,

junk..

5 year old replacement new radiator and did this already wow.

wtf.
