The torque convertor uses Transmission Fluid and is filled by the transmission's internal pump. When you start out with a new convertor, it's a good idea to put a quart of fluid in before installing it on the transmission. When the transmission dipstick shows full, the convertor is also full. An empty torque convertor holds several quarts, depending on the size.
5 quarts when it is full. 1 to 2 quarts when it is new before you install it..
Four quarts unless it is a full teardown then you might include the torque converter
I have a 1992 Chevy G30. Takes 10 quarts if the torque converter is empty.
WHICH fluid.
Depends on the vehicle.
It takes 12quarts of transmission fluid with torque converter drained.
If you drain the Trans. AND Torque Converter you will need 10-12 QTS. of fluid
If you are using Mercon LV I believe it should take 3 quarts, if you have drained the Torque Converter also use 5-6 quarts.
1 and a half to 2 qts
8.6 Quarts With automatic transmission Total refill (includes torque converter)
4.9 qts. ------------- For a fluid and filter change 9.9 qts. ------------- If Transmission and Torque Converter are dry.
one quart is enough to lube everything up.
