I was wondering how many quarts of trans fluid ill need. Im puttin my new tranny in dis weekend. Its got 56k on it. What kind of trans fluid should i use. I plan on doing the tranny cooler later on down the road when i get more money. Thnz for any help.
There is a great write up by enemytoast further down in this thread http://asog.net/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,30/topic,3163.0 and or the very first write-up under the "how-to" thread all about our transmissions and what they need to stay healthy. If you are just going to drain the pan and change the filter I think it's like 4.9 quarts but I would recommend that you take a look and read through these threads for a wealth of very helpful information. Good luck.
Is it gunna really hurt me to not put a new torque convertor now. And maybe put it later. because i really dont have any money to buy a new one right now.
If you got a rebuilt or new transmission, it usually voids the warranty if you don't.
The reason they say to put in a new converter is because when your old transmission goes out, the converter usually gets filled with crap from the clutches slipping and there is no way to get that out.
And if you had problems with the old transmission slipping you over heated the fluid which can damage the converter.
My tranny i bought is used i pulled it from a buddy of mines car. But when my tranny went out i only lost 1st. all of my other work and shift lyk normal. So idk really what i should do. I plan on getting a new torque convertor just not right now.
well my plan is id lyk to learn how to rebuild my old tranny and put all new stuff with some performace in it. But thnz for ur help. So u say about 12-14 qaurts to put all new fluid in the whole tranny.
