Noticed today that they recommend change at 25K miles. Knowing the selling dealer they probably didnt do it. So how many Qts. do i need. I will of course be useing the DERON III ATF, just don't know how many Qts. to use.

I believe the manual reads 5.7 quarts.

 

[popknot98]

got it, i swear i looked at page 5-92 a dozen times, just over looked it everytime. doi!

and it's actualy 5.3 Qts. just to be exact, i dont think the extra.4 Qts. would hurt anything at all tho.

does the filter have to be the same thickness as the original? the one i got from auto zone is thinner than the one i took out, but it seems to be the same height from top of the filter to the bottom as the original.

Use the new Dexron VI ATF, it's better and 100% backwards compatable.

Are we recommending just dropping the pan and changing the filter and fluid or doing a complete flush as well? When I get my new converter installed I am going to get a deeper pan with a drain plug on it for easier maintenance.

 

[popknot98]

well i already bought the dexIII, next time ill use the VI.

but how in the hell do I get that damned filter seal out of there??!! ive been tring for over 15 minuets and it will NOT budge at all! what am i doing wrong?

 

[Duckman]

I am suprised that you didnt go for synthetics. If you cant get the old seal between the filter and the valve body out dont sweat it. Just reuse it.

 

[popknot98]

i would have reused it like i normally do, but the wild hair up my ass decided that i was gna change it. that and by the time i figured out it would have been a good idea to reuse it, i had already f'd it all up. but new one in and everything seems fine so far.

and i used a synthetic in my 93 z28, didnt like how it went at all. maybe it was a bad rebuild but soon after the synthetic swap it went and lost 4th....

 

[06LS2]

93 z28 had a bad transmission to begin with. if i recall it was a hydraulic 4L60 or the POS 700r4.

 

[popknot98]

700r4 is correct, lasted under my lead foot in highschool and after even for a good 40K miles. then i shatterd all the planetary stuff i guess. the re-builder was supposed to be awesome at getting good street/strip trannys. turned out it was a good strip, but horrible street.
