However. If you are filling a used transmission for the first time, there is a fairly good chance that the insides are quite filthy. So what I usually do when I pick up a fresh motorset is put 2.5quarts of the cheap generic junk in it, drive it around with that for a few miles. then dump it out and take a look. If it looks really nasty I will repeat the process until it starts coming out quite clean.

THEN put the expensive stuff in it.

That actually sounds like a pretty good idea. How long should I drive with the cheap stuff till i drain that? Like a day or 2?
