The NAPA seal was a nice tight fit going in and seems to be working great so far. Very limited testing as I'm still chasing some gremlins before I can really take the van for extended test drives from motor re-install.

I am new to automatic tranns. I pulled my auto transmission out and I lost some atf out of torque converter . How much atf should be in tc when you re-install?


Thanks Gary

It doesn't need any in it, it will fill automatically once the engine starts. You just need the ATF level in the automatic section of the tranny close when you first fire the engine up, remembering that too low a level is much easier to correct than too high.
