The T56 Saga, fluid level question...

[03stage2]

So with the HUGE help of Tony (1bad360r) we tore out the old tranny and started the install. When we got to actually filling the T56 we ran into issues. The guide we were using stated to only use 2 quarts of Dextron III. Well 2 quarts didn't put it ANYWHERE near the bottom of the fill plug. Does anyone know for sure if you're supposed to fill the T56 to the fill plug or just use 2 quarts? We took a brake tonight and will resume in the morning so prompt responses are MUCH appreciated. I would just call D&D but the aren't open on the weekends...

Thanks!

And Please do not F with me as I am just about to explode with all the install hassles Ive gone through the last week...

I would post this question on svtperformance. I am sure someone will chime in with the answer.

Relax, take a deep breath and take a break to have few. I hope this week goes better for you and you get the answer you're looking for.

Because I have common sense. Though, I'm wondering if at these times in society it shouldn't be called uncommon sense...

He asked a simple question, if you couldn't answer it why post. To some this may be common sense but to others its not, most fallow instructions if they have them, he felt the instructions were wrong so he asked to find out if they were. Not everyone has common sense in automatics. Same goes as for cooking, if your doing something new you will fallow instructions. If it says add 1 cup of milk would you argue it and put 2? most instructions have error's. Were only human.

Markass, If you would have READ my first post I said "the guide" we were using... The transmission did NOT come with an installation manual so we used a "guide" we found online. If you think im going to take someones writeup for face value without questioning it you are absolutely crazy. I did not claim to be an expert and obviously this is my first tranny sawp EVER.

I really wish for your sake that the rest of the world was as smart as you, but alas the rest of us are all idiots....

The new tranny is in and I am having the EXACT same problem as I did with the old one, incredibly notchy shifting in every gear. I really dont know what to do at this point except for take it to the speed shop and hand over a blank check.

Josh read through a couple of these threads about changing fluid to cure some of the notchiness...

What's so difficult about filling to the full mark (in a manny tranny, to the bottom of the fill plug)?
It shouldn't take a manual for that....

I think your Mom should have slapped some decency into you when you were small and smacked a little harder with the polite stick.

Grow up.

Enough! 4.1 quarts is your answer.
