The other day I drained my tranmission and torque converter. After reading all the dire warnings of to prevent containation, I was paranoid about leaving the pan
out to dry. So I cleaned it with soap and degreaser, then soap again and several rinses in hot water, a wipe down and a final rinse. To dry I jut set my oven to warm and left it in there for about 20 minutes. It went straight from the oven to the tranismission.

I still don't uneratand why if it is so detrimental to get dust and lint in there, how can you average repair shop do this? I put on several layers of gloves and took them off anytime I inadvertantly touched something dirty. And I still managed to see some schmutz get on the valve body when I dropped the pan.
