Default Getting Shift Kit, And Deep Pan Installed

Ok Soo Just Got Trans Go Shift Kit And TCI Deep Trans Pan The Other Day.. Now Prolly Going To Have It Installed Next Week.. Would It Be A Good Idea To Have Them Drain The Fluid Out Of The Converter And All When Im Getting This Done Or Just Have The Pan Droped Trhow The Shift Kit And New Trans Filter In And Call It A Day...

Thanks

You cant just drain a converter without taking it out of the car. Which requires taking the tranny out of the car. If the tranny is out of the car then yes. If not then oh well just install the kit and top it off.

and they have to cut the converter open to get it all out as you will never get it all out without doing so. i would just leave it alone.
