As long as the output shaft isn’t spinning it will be fine. Fluid level may not be that high anyway.

What about trans cooler lines? Are you going to loop it?

Does the starter bolt to the trans?

Yeah, I'll just clamp a bit of hose on the cooler ports

Need to block the speedo drive hole (as I found out last night while lifting it)

10% is quite a bit of difference 

It's easy to test though, do some coast down tests in neutral and look at decel rate on both surfaces

Here is some data for a Volvo (brick):

I feel like for something significantly more aerodynamic the fuel consumption numbers would be affected far more by surface roughness

Max difference at each speed for that graph:

50 km/h : 3.6%

60 km/h : 7.2%

70 km/h :  7.6%

How anal does one need to get as far as tyres go on a street car? like as long as they don't slip in the wet like Super Meows or are noisy and mushy like Hiflys, you're golden.

good tyres are cheaper than a new car
