I washed mine, and I am going to let them set for a while so they can settle down.
Of course it rained last night and I had not put them back into the garage, so they are all wet again.
I'm sorry to hear about your tranny. At least it got you back home and not left stranded along the way someplace. That might have cost you the price of the repair just to get it back home.
Good luck with the repair.
