Question on replacing 722.3 kickdown solenoid

[gsxr]

Hi everyone,

I need to replace the kickdown solenoid on my 722.3 tranny. I've ordered the parts, including the 3 O-rings for the solenoid valve, and the seal ring between the solenoid and the trans housing. My question is, when I remove the valve, will tranny fluid pour out the hole? I just want to make sure I'm not going to take a bath in ATF when I remove the little booger. Do I need to drain the pan first? Any tips would be appreciated...

Thanks!
