I can ... but the 2008 unit has nice clean fluid whereas my valve body had a few metal pieces form the drum/steel/frictions grinding. So i figured the 2008 mechtronics is probably in better shape. My unit is probably the safe way to go except if someone can confirm that the 2008 mechtronics can work without programming.
for the fill, in the previous posts in this thread, the transmission was prefilled before putting the pan cover back on. Makes life easier. So i was wondering how much they filled it with assuming they used a metal pan.

I would use your original Mechatronic’s unit. I have been told that a used unit can be programmed, but never tried. Without programming it def won’t work.
For the bench pre fill, I would look up the dry fill capacity and fill to that amount.
start vehicle on level surface, then open fill plug and see how much comes out.
From my experience the metal pan holds approx .3 quart less(an educated guess) so whatever the overfill amount is will spill out. Just like if you were filling in the vehicle running.
good luck

this one is a metal gasket with rubber over mold. Impossible to over torque and supposedly reusable.

Thank you! I'll definitely replace it with this gasket.
