Good news is you can dump the old fluid out of the TC and refill before reinstalling. This will result in a complete fluid change. I have attached a thread from the resident Guru (JFP) covering the important details.

Looked under there, and there's no way I'm going to try to separate that thing. Thank you, Monty.
Got the exhaust out today. all in one piece. Those last two bolts... that attach to the muffler (center of picture)... yeah... that was no "Burner" job. I had to remove the rear bumper cover and still use two sockets to remove those last two bolts/nuts.
The six nuts holding on the exhaust to the exhaust manifold... some penetrant and they backed right out.
That muffler is a tank.
Since the mechanic will have to remove the axle I'll see if he can take care of the torn in half boot.
Any other "while you're in there" tasks I should attend to?
Thank you, guys!
