I was overlooking that it has to be running to refill, I'll heed the warnings on the short-cut, thank you. Bout the fluid, yes have read the pros and cons (and the tragic outcomes), the fluid is nothing like some I've seen as far as grunge so I'm pretty sure it's been serviced before. If it kills it then it kills it but I had one kind of hard shift today which makes me think I should be dropping the valve body, cleaning it and probably replacing at least that one valve with the modified "no ream" version. Don't worry so much "I got this"
Btw I'm in WA state US, Scotland sounds nice tho. Haha, I can imagine you guy's rolling your eyes at me, really it'll be fine and if not, I'll fess up- waiting for parts.
