I'd figure you would have to have a machine that would be able to pump fluid through the fill hole and out the drain hole, and use some type of fluid or cleaner of your choice.

yea thats what i thought as well but I was looking through this thread https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=357635 and some people were saying they did it themselves. So i was just looking for a how to.
Also is it even necessary to flush fluids i have heard many mixed reviews. Ive even heard flushing fluids can be worse.

You know I would just change the fluids and be done with it, I can not see how flushing is going to be any better. If you change your fluids every 10k or so like I do you should be good.

thats what i was thinking as well. as long as you do timely fluid changes any sludge leftover should be minimal and not cause any problems. Thanks for the responses.
You dont flush the rear axle or transfer case. You only drain and fill which is what I interpreted your post to mean. Apparently your lack of knowledge prevented you from getting the info you wanted.

the 30k and 60k service specifically say to flush all fluids including t-case and rear axle. So that is not my apparent lack of knowledge considering im following the service manual
But the most fluid flush that it has to concern you is the Engine.
So for engine oil, if you have a damaged internals "IMO":
Or if you do not have a damaged Internals and you are not rebuilding your engine or block and you just want to do it because the manual say so! so here is what to do:
1- Drain old oil and remove filter.
2- Clean and scrub the oil pan from any metal powder and else.
3- Better to change the oil pump if your car has 30,000-60,000 Miles or More (I would, if what a have said above applies to your car or rebuilding your engine or block).
4- Change your engine oil cooler.
5- Put new oil filter and oil.
6- Start the car.
7- Turn of after around 5 Minutes.
8- Check the oil level.
9- Drive/Run the car and Rev-it a couple of times (on the road if you want).
10- Change oil and filter again
Again you do not have to do this just because the manual say so and there is nothing wrong with the car!
These steps are not from Japanese Mitsubishi Engineers, this is what i do when rebuilding a broken engine.
This is my 2-cents, hope you find anything hopeful man
good luck all.
