Only when you replace your TC do you need to worry about fluid being in there as it is common procedure to dump @ least a quart of fluid in the TC before install/start-up. This is because the TC is totally dry from the factory. Yours @ least has a resin of fluid that's not going to drain out 'til the pump picks up suction and fills it to proper level.
Thin Blue Line: I purchased a valve body kit for my '91 AOD that I put in my '79 lariat. It's made by Gil Younger and improved shift quality immensely. I mention this as the AOD had almost 200,000 miles on it and I know they offer kits for e40d's as well. The pump is getting weak now (imagine that) but the shifts are still much firmer than they used to be.
