Default Yank SS3600 & Fluid

Hey everybody

This week my converter finally arrived.
I life in Germany so it's kinda hard to find the right parts sometimes..

I got my motor and tranny removed from the car right now, so my question is, when I install the new converter, and change the fluid, do I need to change filter? what filter do I need and could I use "liqui moly ATF 1100"?
I still have some at the shop.

Do I just have to drain the fluid out of the pan and the converter?
My car has 60k miles on it, just finished installing a new cam and bolt ons.

I don't think there has been a trannyfluid change done to it.
I know this has been discussed alot, but I did not find the right answer...

Thanks for your help!

Ole

When I did my ss3600 I drained the pan, changed the filter, and stood the trans on its tail to get all the fluid out. I refilled with about 10 new qts of dex 6.

Use dex 3 or dex 6 and yank recomends no synthetic (but says dex 6 is ok)

Good luck!

use no synthetic, fill the converter with fluid before installing, go easy on breakin on the converter, I would/do not change the small seal on the filter neck,
do a search for 4l60e filter seal

Ok Tanks! I'll see what I can do.
