Every other machine in the family exchanges through the cooler lines. This one can also work through the dipstick tube.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThat is not a convenience option, it is a coverage option. A growing share of vehicles arrive with no accessible cooler-line connection worth breaking into — sealed units, awkward routing, lines that are a corrosion risk to disturb, or a transmission where the manufacturer's procedure simply does not want you in there. On those vehicles a cooler-line-only machine leaves you with a drain-and-fill, which changes a fraction of the fluid and leaves the torque converter full of the old. Dipstick mode means the same complete exchange is available on vehicles the rest of the line cannot service. If you are choosing between ATX models, that is the decision, and it is worth checking against the vehicles actually in your bays rather than against a price.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eThe Boost Pump\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe +Boost designation refers to a high-output pump. The specification sheet lists a positive displacement gear pump for the exchange, with a diaphragm pump included that raises the fluid suction rate in low-flow and temperature-controlled transmissions. That last phrase is the important one: some modern transmissions deliberately restrict flow when the fluid is cold, and a machine that can only draw at the transmission's own pace is slow on exactly those vehicles. The additional pump is there to keep the exchange moving where a basic unit would crawl.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eProtecting the Transmission While You Work\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eTwo design details on this machine exist purely to stop a service damaging the unit being serviced.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe first is a \u003cstrong\u003epatented bypass circuit\u003c\/strong\u003e that protects the vehicle if power to the machine is interrupted mid-exchange. Consider what that prevents. The transmission is pumping fluid through the machine while the engine runs; if the machine dies electrically at that moment and the circuit closes, the transmission is pumping into a dead end. A bypass circuit that fails safe keeps fluid circulating through the machine as though it were a length of hose. It is the kind of feature you never notice until the one time a breaker trips.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe second is the \u003cstrong\u003efluid flow direction indicator\u003c\/strong\u003e built into the electronic illuminated keypad, which verifies that the hook-up is correct before the exchange begins. Connecting a transmission cooler line backwards is a genuinely easy mistake under a vehicle, and it is an expensive one. A diode that lights the wrong way is a two-second check that replaces a guess.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eMeasured, Not Estimated\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe machine works on digital weight scale technology, with a scale accuracy of ±0.03% over the usable range. Weighing rather than metering by volume is what makes the exchange genuinely fluid-for-fluid: automatic level adjustment is quoted to within half a quart, so the transmission finishes at the level it should be at rather than at the level the technician judged. Transmission fluid level is not a forgiving specification — over- and underfilling both produce driveability complaints that are hard to attribute afterwards.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eA transmission diagnostic pressure gauge is built in, so line pressure can be read as part of the same job, and new and used fluid sight glasses let the technician see the colour and condition of both sides. Colour-coded adapters cover Ford, GM, Chrysler and universal fitments including most Asian imports, with valved couplers designed for minimum spill on connection. A push-button drain function empties the used side without improvisation.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eWill It Fit Your Bay?\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFootprint.\u003c\/strong\u003e 45\" H x 28\" W x 26.5\" D (112 cm x 70 cm x 67 cm) — a cart that parks against a wall between jobs.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWeight.\u003c\/strong\u003e 244 lb.
