Don't worry about pre-filling the torque converter.
Put 4 quarts in, start the engine, add 3 more, then add 1/2 at a time (checking fluid level each 1/2 quart)
Then shift manually into each gear PRNDL-LDNRP. Check the fluid level again.
It's better to leave it a little low(at the add line) than to over-fill it.

It won't hurt to dump in a quart or two in the converter, but the pump will fill it as soon as the engine starts. With a small cooler, you should be in the 11 quart range if the transmission was dry with a dry converter. Start with four and go from there. Be sure to let the fill tube drain a few minutes before checking. Joe

Hi David, according to my manual.
A Th350 from 'bone' dry holds 10 quarts.
It wont hurt to put in 7/8 and as 54TOW says,top up 'till
you reach the correct level. It may also vary depending on cooler/length of lines and pan size.
I've definately got this truck thing in my blood ... my DNA sequence has torque settings"Of all the small nations of this earth,perhaps only the ancient Greeks surpass the Scots in their contribution to mankind" Winston Churchill. 1950 Chevy Advance Design 3100 in ScotlandIn the Stovebolt GalleryMore pix on Flickr .
