I started this thread on Escape City about doing a 4-quart drain-and-fill on the tranny of my 2003 Tribute:

As you can see, a poster indicated I would get more fluid out if the tranny is drained cold.
My assumption was that, like engine oil, transmission fluid should be drained hot, so that more 'junk' comes out with the fluid, and it drains easier.
Is it better to drain a transmission cold, or hot?
