As soon as the pump picks up the fluid from the pan, the converter is the first place it goes. Install the trans with everything dry, put in about 5 quarts of fluid, and fire up and idle. Add fluid a little at a time, after running the shift quadrant through all the positions several times to fill all th4e clutches. Leaving the fluid level a slight bit low (less than a pint) is better than overfilling and trying to figure out how to get a little back out. Trans fluid always expands a lot at running temperature, so make the final level check after a test-drive, and top off as required. Jerry
