Talking got the T-IV fluid

Okay got the T-IV tranny fluid ($63.00) IM going couldn't find the proceedure on**s40concepts.net** site but seen the gibbons proceedure some where Maybe here or another forum not sure but can't find it now. Wouldn't I take the hose that returns fluid TO the tranny from coolor radiator? Is that the top hose (driverside) Take it out of the radiator and fit my hose to the radiator outlet...Drain 2 quarts from pan refill 2 quarts via dip stick ..then start car and and drain 2 more quarts from car via my hose from radiator? repeat 5 more time but all drains will now come from hose...Just want to make sure the xmission fluid return line (fluid from radiator TO tranny is the top drivers side)? Also can I do the timing belt my self..Done most all my repairs to my cars..(always owned cars that needed work lol so I know a little but just never did a timing belt so far...Maybe my next topic...

Valvoline makes an ATF called Maxlife formulated for cars with over 75K on them that meets T-IV and many other standards.

Is that OK?

I've got a 2001 XC70. It runs great and shifts great, except when it sitting still in drive. Then sometimes it "Thunks" almost like someone ran into the back of me. I had a mechanic change the trans fluid with Volvo fluid, but it still does it. Any suggestions?
