Oil for Ferret Fluid Coupling?

[Lynn Eades]

Does the fluid flywheel / torque convertor shares the same oil supply??
Does it also have a trans cooler?
In a car you disconnect a hose from the cooler and the trans pump pumps it out while you top it up with the new oil. I was party to a feret trans (Mr Wilsons brain child) rebuild many years ago (army mechanic recon course), but have forgotten most all of it.

A Fluid Flywheel and a Torque Convertor are two wholly different drives. The FF is self contained, no pump or cooler.

For your better understanding here is my fluid flywheel apart.

Hope it brings some understanding.

This is the oil I have used

Thanks, Robin. That shows sucking it out with tubing would be a tedious process requiring topping up and sucking again to gradually dilute the ATF.
