Hey guys, quick question, im actually getting ready to go to work right now so pardon the spelling errors im goan type fast. I just got my trans back from being rebuilt, i went out and bought 4 quarts of royal purple ATF MAX. I poured it in through the shifter while my dad was under the car waiting for the fluid to come out hte fill hole. The problem is it started coming out after 3 quarts???? Is that normal??? Should i run the car and then check the level again?? My trans is the stock 87 t-5 5spd trans. Thanks guys!!

When you added the fluid was the car on level groung??? If it wasnt it needs to be. Was the tranny completly empty? I would drive it around the block and re check the fluid. CHris
