You should be close now. Just keep checking the dipstick.....
Don't take that the wrong way JP. Don't mean it as a smart ***..When it's good on the dipstick....it's good.

well hes got 10 in it now i think....... he doens't really know how to check the trans level at all.. he hadn't been cycling it thru the geras runnign the car as he was doing it so no telling... ive searched and figured it should hold 10.5 to 11.. car drives perfect shifts clean, right until wot then hes getting hesitation but if he lets of the gas a lil, which hes doing right away almost, it shifts immediatley.. so im thinking at 100% throttle there is just not enuff fluid... but hell i could be wrong

Jesus Christ Just fill it up until it reads FULL on the dipstick. How difficult can we make this?
I DO NOT GET IT, WARM IT UP OK THE FLUID IS CIRCULATED AND HEATED UP enough now fill it to the full mark. Thats it, you are finished with the fluid fill procedure. It's not the space shuttle it really is that easy.

Seriously, is the answer 10 quarts 1 1/2 pints? NO.
Depends on the size of the converter, pan, lines, etc, we're getting warm.
9 posts in this thread.
The answer is fill it til it reaches the full mark hot in park on level ground.
Not go out and buy a measuring cup, add 21.578 pints and you're good.
That and all the other BS rumors on this board are getting old.
Yea maybe he downshifted it wrong and ruined it already or manually upshifted it once, btw if you're going to drive like that add .957 pint for safety. If not subtract 1.0046 pints, or .0035 lower than the full mark on the stick.
Make sure theres at least but not more than 214 bubbles in the fluid on the stick or your reading will be off.

i just want to know before i actually start the ****** up what a good baseline amount is, you know since we have to have it running to check. i like to make sure i'm within a certain tolerance. it holds roughly 10. ok so i fill to 10 and add more if needed. rather than starting up and just adding it while it's running from 1-10.65389. don't like it, eat a dick.... good day

If you dont like the content of the answers, post a more simple one. But its juvenile and useless to post what you have. It causes all of the above.

I donate time here for whatever thats worth, I give my opinions for free so if I'm expected to ignore the posts I don't like than those who don't like my posts can ignore me the same way.

way ive always done it was 4-5 in at first, warm it up.. cycle gears, add accordingly.... this fool couldn't read the dipstick tube and wound up with 6-7 for a good 15-20 minutes of hard driving before he called me. actually it was 2 hrs before he called me.
