i took the pan off and changed the filter, when i put it back in the car i put 4 quarts in trans. and 1 quart in the converter. now when i put it in gear its like it doesnt wanna go i gotta get on the gas pretty good so it'll start moving. does it just need more fluid? it did sit for almost a year before i put it back in.

also whenever i put it in gear a little fluid comes out the front on the ground?

Was the trans completely drained? What does the dipstick show?

Bone dry it will take like 10-11 qts

I blew a cooler line last year and replaced like 7qts. I am sure you need more.

Just keep checking the dipstick.

when i changed the converter it took around 8.5-9 quarts

i checked the dipstick and nothing was on it so i added a quart and it goes into gear fine, a little hesitation when going from drive to reverse. now when i put it in park it starts to leak right under the converter? a good size puddle too.

It'll take 10-12 quarts total. It doesn't wanna move b/c there isn't enough fluid so the converter is slipping real bad. As you add more it'll get better. Throw in a few more and then drive it. Keep adding a quart at a time untill it doesn't slip anymore.

I just did the same thing to mine, Pulled the pan off and replaced filter.

Put 5 in at first. Then start the car and let it warm up. Add 1 quart at a time until it's full.
