CountryBumkin Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 I could not find a "fluid capacity" specifications section on your forum - so I'll ask here. What is the refill capacity for my C6 transmission? it is a 1982 F250 4x4 with "deep pan". The service manual says "refill capacity is 13-1/2 quarts" -- but is that with an empty torque converter? I'm just replacing the transmission filter and I did not drain the TQ. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Yes, that is with an empty torque converter. I confirmed that in General Automatic Transmission section of the FSM on Page 17-01-39, as well as in the C6 rebuild procedures on Page 17-10-27. Unfortunately no value is given for the torque converter or a refill w/o the torque converter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure when I swapped to a drained pan I put in 4qts, started the truck and let it warm up, then filled to the dipstick line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. I put in almost 8 qts before I stopped to ask the question. Now I'm overfull but my (aftermarket) tranny pan has a drain plug so I can drain some back out.
