First thing I did was pour several ounces of straight acetone in each cylinder and at the top pf the lifters.
I did this to let the super thin acetone have a head start to penetrate and make an easier path for the 50/50 acetone/transmission fluid to get into.
One unforeseen benefit of adding the straight acetone first was that the two really stuck cylinders were slow to let the acetone to drain through so that I could focus on gently pounding those two pistons down first. "Gently" needed to be gradually upgraded until the stuck ones finally moved.
