So I'm finally getting a trans this weekend hopefully but something usually always comes up lol crossing my fingers. Then just need fluid for trans and transfer case and oil and filter and maybe some new spark plugs and it should be running. Can I just run royal purple synchromesh in the trans or do I have to run the other stuff? What's the best way to flush the trans before I put it in?
