auto trans refill question
I drained my trans fluid,changed the filter.I would say more than 3qts came out,the manual says 5 has to go back in. I put 2qts in it started to dribble out(car running in park)I went for a slow ride,went through the gears,jacked it back up level,added a 1qt and a half started to dribble out(car running in park).All together it took 3 1/2 qts.Could that be right?I'm I missing something some where?Want to go to E-town Saturday. 97cpe.3.42gears,2600 stall

The manual says it should take 11 quarts to fill on a fresh rebuild and I've done it twice and never been able to get more than 9 in a fresh tranny.
