Help me quick if possible!!

PowerSplash93 · Dec 21, 2005

I just filled up my 3650 with new fluid, I now have 4 empty bottles of royal purple but no fluid coming out of the fill hole. Am I missing something, I am pretty knowledgeable of cars but what is going on?? I did spill a little bit on the ground but not a whole lot, someone enlighten me please.
Thanks
Matt

I am pretty sure fluid only comes out of the hole in an overfill situation.

Spec. calls for 4qts.

I've heard (not sure if correct) some say "fill it to the lower edge of the 'fill hole'". If this is correct... is the car siting level?

I know it only comes out if you overfill it but you are supposed to be able to fell it with your first knuckle and I can't. Guess I will go buy some more tomorrow seeing as they are closed now.

DO NOT FILL YOUR 3650 TILL IT DRIPS OUT!
4 quarts is perfect. I got 3.75 in mine, has been that way since July of 04.

Simple, you do not want to overfill the 3650 transmission. T-5's and rear ends are a different animal. This information came right off of the Tremec website last year when I swapped my fluid out.

according to Ford TSB you should only refill it with 3qts 6oz of fluid..

Superhereaux · Dec 21, 2005

does the tsb mention any specific fluid to use?
