Gotcha. Yeah, I just decided to go ahead and do another flush. The last time I only had three quarts to fill anyway so I want to make sure it's full. Plus I know I would lose at least a little during the removal process. Since I needed one, might as well buy three more - easy to justify an extra $50 in the process of saving $800 in labor

*edit* I just wanted to add that I just purchased my transmission jack, and the jack itself has adjustments to tilt the transmission in any direction while it is chained to the jack. I will probably still go ahead and replace the fluids, but I now know that it wouldn't have been a problem to save most of the oil (provided I plug the rear). The dealer sold me the wrong washers for the plugs before my last flush, so I can put new washers on as well.
