You don't drain it, you suck it out with this:

gId=-1&storeId=11151&storeNum=10106&subdeptNum=10434&classNum=10440_

6&catalogId=10001&langId=-1&storeId=11151&storeNum=10106&subdeptNum=10434&cl
assNum=10440) 
 
It works great, the ones powered by a drill do not.

HOW does  one drain the transmission oil?  With an eye dropper?  It   
only holds about 12 ounces.
