thats it (what I did)......I would drive it a day or two before I went crazy (don't have to BABY it, just don't go doing 7K RPM clutch dumps/etc. ) just cause......

BUT....you should be good to go as is.....

grease? you mean oil right? Just checking but did YOU put oil in it (they are shipped empty)?

I would say......a year or two from now you might want to change the fluid.....till then don't worry about it.......
