trans install question
hey guys, i am installing a new tranny in my 1994 and i was going to put a qt of fluid in my vigilante converter and it doesn't seem to go down just fills the snout up and sits there.
I drained whatever was in there,at least I thought it would drain sitting upside down in my drain pan for a day.
This is my first auto r&r and I can't afford to screw it up,I read somewhere that I should put a qt in the converter and 4qts in the pan and start it up and put the rest in,is this correct any help would be appreciated. thanks

I was only able to get 1/2 quart in my new convertor. If you have a stock depth pan run the car for about 15 seconds and shut down,check the level and add as needed.

trans didn't blow up just lost 1-2 clutch packs,I did think about it but precision industries is closed for the holidays, I will change the filter after a few hundred miles.
I wasn't sure how much fluid it would take,since i don't have a lot of experience with autos. thanks for the help.
