dropping tranny

i am dropping the tranny on my b4000 to change the slave and im wondering if i need to drain the tranny before i drop it? i just changed the fluid in it so i was hoping i could get away with not draining it.

It will run out the tail unless you plug it somehow.

you may be able to get a plastic dummy plug at your local auto parts store (they may have to order it in). Another option is if you can come up with a slip yoke from a junkyard that will work too.
