2000 S70 Glt head gasket
Replacing the head gasket on my car as well as timing components and cam seals, oil change all that good stuff. The car has been sitting for about 4 months and I'm wondering if I shouldn't drain fill the transmission.
Could this shock the transmission or cause some bad stuff?
Any thoughts appreciated.

I am going to check and see if there's any discoloration, will plan accordingly after that.
thank goodness I have already done. Full pcv job as well as a new starter in the last year. I've owned the car for a about 30k miles now and have done a ton of maintenance, trying to get back to a stage 0 before anything else.
Thank you for your feedback friend, it helps a lot.

Not sure of the connection between the head gasket repair and the transmission question = are you just asking about the value of a drain/fill for general maintenance or are you thinking that the head rebuild may do something to the transmission (nope...)? Assuming the former, I'd say get the engine running first then check all the fluids - coolant, oil etc and if those are good enjoy the car. You can do the drain fill of the transmission at any time - just make sure that you use the correct fluid for your car (the 4 and 5 speeds may be different with one using Dex III and the other JWS3309 so best to research). Also make sure you check levels using both the cold and warm fill lines.
