Another Trans ?

My torque converter has a drain plug. Will it hurt anything to drain the trans fluid and replace it with fresh fluid?

I already drained the trans and put in a new filter. I was told if I drained the torque converter that it would mess up the brand new seal that we put in before hooking up the engine.

No, it won't hurt it at all. Thats why they put it there to begin with. Just make sure you refill with the proper fluid. Ford has got several different ones now.

If you're completely changing fluid, through the dipstick add 8 or 9, start and run a minute, add a couple more, check level and adjust as necessary.
