Not necessarily a question for Tom, but since we're talking about a tranny fluid analysis how is the easiest/best way to get enough fluid to send in for the analysis? When changing the fluid it would be easy but when not changing it what do you do to keep from contaminating the sample you get?

Wagonmaster,
The easiest way to collect a sample is down through the dipstick tube. You'll want to sample the fluid warm or at normal operating temperature. What sort of contamination are you concerned about? Are you worried about maybe collecting some dirt or dust with the sample from around the dipstick tube (oil fill tube)?
