a/c and spark plug ????s 1. A quick question about the a/c system, Is there a ORPHIS TUBE and were is it supposed to be at? I can find the damn thing and oriellys wont swap my a/c compressor with out the can and orphis tube.
2. I bought some NGK tr55IX for my 97 ta, i believe they come gap at 55 is that about right?. The car has bolt ons and cc503 and a pcmforless mail order tune abouto go in. ...
3. First time filling up a auto transmission. I was told at Oreillys that tranny takes 10.8 quarts when all empty. I was told to pour one in stall before installing it then then about 8 more when its all installed. Then go through gears so it can settle in and add as needed to get to the mark. Is this ok or whats the proceddure.
Ill be back in an hour gotta bolt on my transmission and stall gettin ready to roll the cradle back in. Anybody that has used or done them before pitch in thanks

2nd question, i would probably give it a smaller gap of .050 or even .045. .055 is pretty big gap.
3rd question: yup about right. depending on the size of the torque converter and pan the number of quarts can vary. if its stock then yes around 10-12 qts is about right for an empty trans. around 5 for the pan, 2-3 for the converter then a few more for the guts of it. i would probably put in 8qts and check it, then pour in the necessary amount to top it off. (remember engine idling, trans warm, car on a level surface)

When filling, be absolutely sure you do not overfill the transmission. Assuming this is a brand new bone dry transmission, put one quart in the converter, then 4 through the fill tube. Start the motor and immediately add 2 more, then start checking the level and adding as necessary.

if your putting a rebuilt 4l60e in your and its bone dry start with 5.5 then start the car (if not it will all **** out the vent) add until you have put 11 quarts in then run it through the gears and check it. Also dont forget to blow the cooler lines out. Also its not necessary to fill the converter if you put but so much in the converter it will all spill out when you go to slide the converter into the trans.
