yet another transmission fluid thread

Wondering how much fluid a 4T60 typlically holds?

 

I bougth a $20 air/fluid hand pump today and sucked out about 4L from the dipstick tube (thats about 4.2 quarts I think... I really don't know what the hell a quart is). Great little pump BTW, it would work great for stealing gas or whatever, easier than syphoning.

 

After I refilled it and added some Wynns tranny stuff (the cheap $5 kind, didn't feel like spending money on Lucas since I plan on doing this again soon). I plan on dropping the pan and changing the fluid/filter when it gets warmer out but I figure this is good enough for now, as it seems to have helped out a bit with the hard 1-2 shift. The old fluid looked like coffee but was not burnt glad to get it out anyways.

cool. how's the weather in canada, if i am to assume canada IS to the north of me, i'd say youre a badass to do work to your car when it's that cold out.

~bout 6 quarts when you drop the pan

I just did mine and it was about 6 or 7

I know what pump you're talking about, and trust me, it works great for siphoning gas !

 

And BTW, a quart is exactly the size of a bottle of motor oil...
