Thanks Pugsy. I had visions of reusing and somehow screwing up my newly built tranny, vs. visions of wasting perfectly good, expensive fluid! Now to figure out when and where to do the swap! Garage is getting very full. Might need to take some time off work and do it over the couse of a few days, verses trying to do it in spare time around work schedule and other obligations!. I think while I'm at it I am going to try and find a c6 tranny pan with a built in drain plug, would make it a lot easier to drain than having fluid pour out while unbolting the existing pan.
