 Topic: Winterizing the TransmissionPosted: November-22-2009 at 2:05pm |

Haven't posted in a while, been super busy, have hardly had time to lurk!
I winterized about a month ago, but I didn't change the transmission oil. Eric rebuilt the tranny right before GL and I figured since the oil had hardly any hours on it that it would be fine... I think I remember Eric saying that he recommended filling the transmission all the way to the top with tranny oil during winterizing and then draining and refilling in the spring. Eric, should I still do this, or do you think it will be fine this winter? |

I would leave it, personally. Interested to hear Eric's response, however.
