Quick (and maybe stupid) tranny question...

Here's the deal...

My car with freshly bolted up rebuilt tranny is in the 'good' spot in the driveway. We need to work on my bro's car ASAP in this spot.

Now, the transmission shop somehow failed to give me my drain plug so my tranny has no fluid and wont have any until tomorrow or when I can get to the dealer.

Is it okay/safe to roll/push my car out of the good spot with no fluid in the transmission in order to work on his car now?

Also...2 pints = 1 quart right?

Yes it's safe. Just put it in neutral and roll away. And 2 pints does equal 1 quart. I always remember by fluid ounces...pint of beer = 16 fluid ounces, 32 fluid ounces in a quart. But that's just me.

Pretty much 5 quarts, yes. 4.99 and some change to be exact.
