Tranny Fluid

[foxstang9050]

Im puttin my tranny back in the car soon but before i do it i need to know how much fluid an AOD needs... and i need to know how much to put in the converter

pour 1 quart of Motorcraft Mercon automatic transmission fluid into the torque converter, which will prime the front pump and get the converter filled during engine startup and a filled torque converter will hold approx. 4 quarts. and the tranny holds approx. 24.6 pints of fluid roughly 12 quarts with a dry converter.... so after all is said and i did'nt confuse you add 1 quart to the torque converter install converter and tranny and add approx 11 quarts to tranny drive and allow tranny to heat up and check fluid level and fill to proper level.....

I may sound stupid here but before this i just stayed away from transmissions so i dunno anything about them.... do i pour the 1 quart in where the input shaft goes in the converter..... and then i just as tranny fluid through the dipstick tube right?

yep, pour it in the only place it will go in the converter and than fill the tranny up through the dipstick tube

Remember to check the level while the car is idling.. If you have an extra trans cooler, it will take a little more fluid
