INTRODUCTION 

            

to the 

TSD450 TS

 

 

 

 

Congratulations on the purchase of your Flo-Dynamics TSD450 TS automatic transmission fluid 

exchanging machine! 

 

Simply put, this machine is the cleanest, safest, easiest, fastest, most thorough, and most cost-

efficient method of fluid exchange ever devised. Suddenly, regular automatic transmission 

maintenance becomes a more realistic proposition. With the TSD450 TS, you can exchange the 

transmission fluid either through the transmission cooler lines OR through the vehicle's dipstick. 

Transmission fluid exchanging is cleaner and easier than ever! 

 

Transmission Fluid Exchange: 

To attain the highest level of protection for internal transmission components and increase the 

transmission’s life span to the maximum, it is recommended that the transmission’s lubrication 

system is serviced every 15,000 miles (or according to the vehicle owner’s manual). The Flo-

Dynamics TSD450 TS exchanges virtually all of the used transmission fluid to new, without even 

requiring the transmission pan to be dropped. There is no spillage, and no mess. 

 
 

 

• The TSD450 TS can be used practically anywhere – and with almost any vehicle. 

 

• It is compact, mobile, and self-contained. 

 

• It operates off the 12-volt battery of the vehicle being serviced. 

 

• It does not require a pit, lift, or ramp. 

 

• The TSD450 TS hooks up directly to one of the vehicle’s transmission cooler lines for a 

transmission fluid exchange or through the dipstick. 

 

• The ATF fluid exchange, from setup to finish, typically takes 15 minutes or less for inline 

mode, and 10 minutes or less for dipstick mode! 

 

No wonder an ATF exchange is the most requested method of preventative automatic 

transmission maintenance today. 

 

Please take time to read through this manual to familiarize yourself with the TSD450 TS 

before performing your first ATF exchange.
