Nice video! Thanks for the dimensions on the return hose, that's very helpful. Keeping suction on the system and the fluid lever high is very good, but as a precaution, I would turn the wheel a few times at the end before starting the engine, just to be sure there aren't any air bubbles in the system, which could wreck the seals or the pump. Also, when you have the temporary return hose attached, you could just keep the neck of the bottle of new ATF fluid in the reservoir or funnel, like a water cooler uses surface tention to keep fluid from spilling over. But squeezing off the tip is just as good to keep the new fluid from spilling out.

Thanks for the comments and the tips. Much appreciated.
