getting fluid into a dry torque convertersuv 05-18-2006, 07:13 PM Well, I forgot to put fluid in the tc before I bolted up the transmission. Is there a way to get some in there without unbolting it again? Or should I just say what the heck and pull it? Thanks... maxwedge 05-18-2006, 07:52 PM There usually is enough in there from testing, I assume they test them before shipping, anyway filler' up and go. Kings-x59 05-19-2006, 08:12 PM Well hope everything worked out ok for you. Everything I've read said to put at least a quart in the TC before install, which is what I did when I rebuilt my 700R4. My new TC might have been "damp" inside, but not enough to drip. suv 05-20-2006, 12:43 PM Well, I did start it and try to drive it, but it wouldn't shift into gear at all. I guess without the tc spinning the pump it doesn't have pressure to shift. I was just wondering if there's a way to unhook a cooler line or something and pump fluid in. I guess I could tow it to a trans shop and have them "power flush" but it has new fluid and filter already... Kings-x59 05-21-2006, 01:32 PM Have you checked your trans fluid level with the engine warm and idling? The torque convertor holds, I forget exactly, like 3 -4 quarts. You might just be low on fluid. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
