I will be as brief as possible, this is not story time
had a transmission leak that got worse over the last few weeks, kept adding fluid every couple of days about half a quart...today dropped pan, installed filter, new gasket, added 5qts of fluid, but now it says it's over... what gives.... drove it for a bit (30 miles), then let it idle, ran it through the gears at 5 second intervals, checked the fluid and it was over... now remember, the 5qts should IMHO not put me over, especially since there was a tranny leak... so is the capacity of the EXT less? I do have the deep pan... I would say I am less than a 1/4 of a quart over or so... am I doing something wrong when checking the fluid... also, I am taking the lower reading of both sides...
