Trans. Coolers?

Yep, enough to fill it..... :lol :lol

Depends on how empty it is. I would get three or four quarts and see where that puts you. Don't drive it until it is filled properly. It holds around 15-16 quarts I believe but a pint down can effect the operation.
 
Well it is pretty damn empty considering the fluid is all over the garage floor and in buckets. :craz I guess I'll just have to buy several quarts and keep checking it. I just wasn't 100% sure on the type of fluid or just how much can go in.
 
Yep, type F is the stuff. Just add some and cycle it thru the gears without moving. Check and add as needed. Be careful not to overfill it. If to low, it can foam a bit on you also.

Pete, I think that you're over estimating the capacity of the C4. When I put the new one in the wife's 65, I used about 10 or 11 quarts. No external cooler, but that shouldn't add much to the system.
 
Been a while so I could be off a bit........wouldn't be the first..or the last. I will rely on my first statement....

Rob, was your torque converter filled at the time? I was thinking almost 18 quarts, but the last one I did, with empty torque converter, would have been when I put your AOD into Pete's new '66 using the B&M Holeshot 2400 converter. I, too, could be wrong, but definitely remember making 2 trips to the auto parts store for more tranny fluid. Funny how we're all tied together by that car now, eh?
 
Put everything back together, filled up the fluid, took her for a little drive around the neighborhood, and nothing fell off, caught on fire, or started spilling out so success! :vic

Thanks guys!!
