Just got my auto rebuilt for the second time in 1 year.

This time I have to add the oil myself as only box was sent off.

I have read from threads that she will take 8.7 litres of oil (box and convertor)

I have added approx 6.5 litres and she reads full at dip stick (hot and cold)

 

Should I add the extra 2 litres?

 

Also since mechanic fitted box the gear lever is no longer rigid and moves quite a bit when trying to change geae manually. Peviously it felt very tight and I would only have to toucj gently and it would click between the gears.

 

Can this be adjusted or is it in the box internals?

 

Thanks

Hello mate, i drained my autobox at the weekend, bought 7 ltrs

of oil to put in, managed to get 4.5ltrs in! The torque converter

will hold a few litres anyway. Reads spot on on the dipstick. I wouldn't

go putting any more oil in mate, just drive it steady for a while & keep

an eye on the level.

And check it engine running, warm and in park........

What about the lever

 

is there any way to adjust it to stiffin the gear shift when pushing manually?
