Re: [AMC-List] Whiney transmission on my '62 Classic

[<francis.swygert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Only nine quarts? Drive the car around the block then check the fluid
level again. It's probably still a few quarts low -- it should hold
12-15 quarts from bone dry. You followed the procedure correctly, but
you have to check the level after that and add as necessary. Did you
change the torque converter or still using the old one? I hope you at
least got a remnaufactured conveter, otherwise you might have problems
later as the contaminated fluid still in the old converter (there's no
way to get it all out short of rebuilding) finds its way into the trans.
It will take a while, just shortens trans life. But you are likely
hearing the pump with the transmission still 2-5 quarts low on fluid. I
can't say just add two quarts and drive -- get it warm, check level, add
until no longer necessary.
