I am getting ready to drop the tranny pan to change the filter and replace the fluid in the pan.
Question: will the tranny drain more oil with the transmission cold or hot? Seems I've read somewhere that if the tranny is cold, fluid will drain from the torque converter. So should I change the tranny fluid with a hot tranny or cold tranny to change the maximum amount of tranny fluid?
Thanks, Scott.
