dry transmission start up
Hey Guys,
I'm starting up my rebuilt transmission very soon.
I'm thinking of going about it this way
- through the dip stick tube add about 7 quarts or enough to register in "good zone" on the dip stick
-start the car, wait 5 minutes
- check the dip stick, add as needed to the good zone again
- drive the car just a bit (the engine is new also and with the Marty O base tune is place I can get it around the block I think) & slow
- park, turn car off, add again to same spot on dip stick.
- drive normally again around the block
- add more
etc.
thoughts?
Thanks
