I am no transmission expert by any means, but today I came up with a tip that I wish someone had told me yesterday.

If you decide to move the TH400 that has been sitting on your garage floor for quite a while.....beware of the fluid that may pour out and run down your leg and soak into your new work boots and leave a pretty red trail on your floor. Oops!

And the guy I got it from told me it had been drained. Imagine that!

He probably did drain the pan, but there's still fluid trapped in the converter, valve body, and tail shaft housing...

Get a seal-up plug kit. They have plastic plugs for the front, rear, dipstick hole, and cooler fittings. Much nicer than the dreaded oil slick on the floor, lol.

Thanks for the replies, guys.
