I need to know how much tranny fluid will i need just for changing out the filter. It will be drained and im not sure how much to buy when i replace it. Thanks

8 maybe 9...assuming this is a C4? Try it with the nose down to see how much you can keep in the converter....I filled my C4 from compltely empty after adding a +2 pan and fresh rebuild... it held 11

Yes its a c4. Thanks NYLES.

Yes its a c4. Thanks NYLES.

4 qts on a pan and filter drop.

Drain the TC and get about 4-5 more qts of the dirty fluid out of your trans.

What was I thinking! do drain the torque converter! and if your really wanna add some more insurance add an external inline filter. Then you should need about 9.

Sorry, I did a pan drop last week but wanted to keep all the fresh fluild in mine. had to fill for a chasis run before new pan arrived so fluid was fresh.

Notice right under BwoncoHowie.....it says.....C-4 WIZARD......and on that I ask him What your favorite floor shifter and easiest to hook up?

My favorite is not the easiest because there is fabbing and internal transmission work involved, but I like the 1969/70 mustang cougar floor shifter. I dont know which is the easiest to install, to me, the likes of B&M, Hurst, Lokar are all pretty much the same. You need to start a thread on this subject because I'm not a wizard with aftermarket shifters.

Hmm thats odd, I drained my pan yesterday the +2 BTE one to check that valve behind the modulator and only got 3.5 out of the pan....was sitting level and I let it all drrain out...plug is on the bottom

Viperwolf1 you may be on something here....if BH~ is getting 4 from pan and filter shoudnt I be getting around 6? side of the drip pan was at 3.5 when it stopped dripping. Wondering where the other 2 quarts are?

Not to but in, but how many total qts w/ + 2 B&M pan?

berdman, there's your answer. shouldn't matter if it is B&M or homemade. +2 is +2.
