Help - Transmission Fluid Questions
I had an incient while working on my car and lost a pretty good bit of trans. fluid. 
So my question is how much fluid does a 91' auto hold? And can I mix some B&M trickshift with whatever is left in the tranny? TIA

quite a bit... 17 pints, what, 8 quarts?
I donno about mixing fluids, but I suspect it isn't a problem. Without pumping all the fluid out, you can't drain it all... so some of the old has to stay.
I would check with B&M and see what they say.

14 1/2 quarts - thats right at 3 1/2 gallons, I don't think it holds that much fluid. I really need to get this car back on the road, supposed to head down to Cruisin The Coast Thurs. aft. Thanks, Dave

My experience and a word of advice.
Stay away from B&M Trckshift!
Unless you like rebuilding your trans every year.
My two cents.

Most any Good brand name transfluid that's compatible with your spec.
I think it's Decron III now for yours.
I use a non synthetic.
My trans get rebuilt every two-three years and I flush it every year.
But then I pound the crap outta mine.
In my truck, I use regular trans-fluid as well. I flush that every 25,000 miles.
I have nothing against syn. It's just that in my corvette I find that regular trans fluid bites better giving me the crisp shift I need.
My two cents, again
