Tranny fluid temp is important to life of parts and trans..So if you don't have a trans cooler you should change tranny fluid more often.
But, first of all you should add a drain plug if you don't already have one..This will allow you to drain out 2-3 quarts at a time and slowly replace the used fluid evey 25-30 runs...
I will not coment on dropping the pan to change fluid..I really think you guys are on a FISHING Trip !!!!! Trust me the Fletcher's
Biondo's, Morehead's, etc. , don't drop or drain their tranny pans between rounds or qualifiing....They just drive their butts off....But, I do think keeping fresh fluid in your tranny has its advantages................Dave...1033/stock (RV-455)
