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.
