To drain the Transmission Fluid from your Transaxle, you need to loosen the bolts around the Pan. As for taking the fluid out of the Torque Converter, you can not unless you completely remove the Transaxle from the Car along with the Torque Converter. So every time you service the Transmission, you are NOT getting 100% of the fluid. You can do a REVERSE FLUSH on your Transmission at many shops but I do not recommend this. I have had to rebuild many transmissions within 500 miles of the service (many less than 100 miles).

1994 chevy cvalier 3.1 engine...lately it's been shutting off when i come to stop. the oil pressure fluctuates and then shuts off. it always starts back up. any suggestions?

if this unit has an over drive tork converter the tork converter or the TC valve (solenoid) might be faulty, have you tried keeping your foot on the gas a bit to keep it running ? and what happens ? also some engines have a low oil pressure warning and engine cut out , did you check your oil ???

I would be best to just change the oil and filter since all the oils drained out. Make sure you have the right gasket and you will have to use a tork wrench and tighten the bolts on the oil pan as the maufacturer recomends. Make sure you know the exact amount of tork you need so a leak doesn't develop.......I hope this is helpful : )
