dvette71 Sep 11th, 08, 1:30 PM Hi I know with a stock converter in a 400 trans should take about 12qts. How much with a 10" stahl converter? Is there a rule of thumb 1 qt per inch or ? :confused: bracketchev1221 Sep 11th, 08, 1:48 PM Not that I know of. I don't think the smaller converter would hold much less, maybe 1 quart less. I think if you start checking it around 9 quarts and run it through all of the gears you should be safe. dvette71 Sep 11th, 08, 1:59 PM The problem I am having is blowing trans oil out of the overflow at 5500-6000 rpm. I don't want to upset the track personnel and fellow racers due to downtime to clean up my mess.

Do you have an accurate dipstick in it? bracketchev1221 Sep 11th, 08, 3:10 PM That is why I only fill mine to the add a pint line when it's hot. Basically on a deep pan trans if it shows on the stick, leave it. Skeeveman Sep 11th, 08, 4:05 PM Do as jakeshoe suggests and scribe a line on your dipstick that is flush with the pan rail. That will be your full mark. The indicator marks on your dipstick can be inaccurate. Mine was 5/16 too high, and this was from a brand new GM dipstick/tube. http://project71.net/skeeveman/Trans/Dipstick.jpg Once I got it marked, I just started putting in fluid until it showed full. Started the car, warmed it up, and slowly ran the shifter through all of the positions a few times... checked he fluid, and continued to do this until it was full. Then I drove it a few miles and checked it again... all was good. | ||
