Only takes an extra ten minutes the first time and allows complete changing of the fluids. It's messy to drill it the first time full, but the fluid helps flush the drill chips out, not in. If you drill it dry, fill the flutes of the bit, and tap, with chassis grease to retain the chips on the bit, and hold the converter up, so the chips fall down , not into the converter.

I ALSO UNHOOK A TRANS LINE AT THE RADIATOR, & LET THE TRANNY PUMP PUMP OUT MOST OF THE FLUID. YOU'LL GET OUT BETTER THAN 90% THAT WAY.  JOHN
