Correct. That's the beauty of the DIY non-power flush method. Combined
with first dropping the pan to replace the filter, you then use the
tranny's own pump to pump the fluid at normal rates out of the cooler
return line. You get a 95+% fluid changeout, cleaned pan and magnet,
new filter, and non of the risks of the power flush at minimum cost.
