So, all stock cars which have never had the transmission serviced should be dry.

IIRC, even the FSM does not instruct you to do so?

Most of us do - it doesn't hurt anything.
One negative is that if you DON'T have good shift boot covers (all THREE of them! - well, at least the most expensive, inner one with the metal flange), it's going to make a mess!

Very interesting. . . I thought I had read somewhere (don't remember where though) that it needs oil poured in it. Good to know, thanks.

Just checked my old Haynes manual I use (I knew I wasn't making this up lol) and found that instruction. .
