Swapping Tranny's this weekend, questions?

[Bowed]

Big Red , If the trans is dry you can install the trans then add 4 quarts start up the engine then add the remaining amount while it runs checking the stick after each quart until at the full mark . While you are adding the final quarts " very slowely " run the gear selector back and forth between reverse and low several times to get any air out of the system. Like big Block 73 pointed out you can pre fill the converter but I talk with a pro rebuilder and he tells me you do not need to pre fill the converter on the TH350 because the front pump is fast enough that you will not hurt anything if you just start with the basic 4 quarts in the pan and that is what I do , its quicker and easier .
