That is the plan. Fluid is definitely pink on the paper towel. But seriously darker than the fluid in my stock 560SL with the 722.3 Transmission which has also been drag raced. I may just not be used to these 722.6 transmissions. Maybe that's why they were sealed for life, MB didn't want anyone to see the transmission fluid color.
