Trans Filter and Gasket on AOD?

[Jwint86062]

Doing a Trans Filter and Gasket on my 91 LX. The guy at the parts store said the car takes 12.3 Quarts of Trans fluid. So I cleaned the self out of Royal Purple ATF and set to work. The pan only filled out about 1/3 of my drain bucket and thats no 12.3 Quarts. I was thinking the rest is in the Torque converter. But that wouldn't hold that much ATF would it? I might just put it back together, fill it and get a flush at the shop. Anyway's I need help with this bad cause the 18 speed is only good on nice days. Thanks in advance for any sugestions.

The converter, pan and lines will hold the ~12 qt volume. You could do a full flush if you like and your fluid right now is not in bad shape. You disconnect a cooler line and pump fluid into a bucket, then drain the converter, and then fill it back up (we can go into greater detail if you're interested in doing this).

Good luck.

12.3 if it was completely empty, but the pan itself probally holds between 3-5quarts.

There's only 4 quarts in the pan.

Thanks guys, I got it back together fine and it took a little over 4 quarts. Im bringing it to the shop to have them flush it for I dont have equipment to flush it myself. Thanks again
