Why must the engine be running to check the automatic transmission fluid?
So the torque converter and oil cooler are full.
Why would a car just stop running when you are in reverse?
Type your answer here... it is possibly a torque converter problem or transmission faulty
How many quarts of transmission fluid does a TH350 none lock up take with an empty torque converter new converter?
about ten or eleven liters -Never put a dry converter into a transmission, fill it 1/2 full of fluid, about 3 to 4 litres or quarts, then once the transmission is in, put 4 liters in, run the engine and this will fill the converter fully. With engine running, fill to the "warm" position on the dipstick, take the car for a 10 minute drive and top up the level (with engine running) to the "hot" mark.
How do you add transmission fluid to a 2004 Sunfire?
Through the dipstick tube. keep engine running so you don't get a false full mark. (convertEr not in motion/pump not running)
What could happen with a loose torque converter?
If the torque converter is loose it can do alot of damage to the transmission too. My ex- had to replace the transmission because the bolts were not put in correctly when someone else had changed something out. He had to put in a new transmission and torque converter. If it is running too rough you may have to change it all out. Check the bolts first to make sure everything is tight. If it is then you'll probably need new trany and torque converter.
What happens when you put the car in drive and it pauses first and then goes?
you could be running low on transmission fluid, or your torque converter could be going out
Transmissions that have their own cooler and pump?
All automatic transmissions have a PUMP in the front of them right behind the torque converter. Transmissions are designed to cool off by using transmission lines running from the transmission to the VEHICLE Radiator to cool the transmission fluid.
How much automatic transmission fluid does a 1999 sunfire take?
According to the Haynes manual, 7 quarts for a 3 speed trans and 9.5 quarts for a 4 speed trans. Haynes says that this is with a filter replacement but does not include the torque converter. I'd pick up an extra quart or two and check after filling and running for awhile.
How do you check transmission fluid in Taurus?
Drive the car for about 15 minutes to heat (and thus expand) the automatic transmission fluid (ATF), then park the car on level ground, but leave it running. Remove the ATF dipstick and check the level. You need to keep the engine and transmission running and warm when you're checking the ATF level because the fluid level mark on the ATF dipstick is calibrated for a warm, running condition, and because a significant amount of ATF will be in the torque converter only while the engine is running. If you measure ATF level while the engine isn't running, you'll get an inaccurately high reading because the ATF will drain out of the torque converter and go into the transmission pan, which is where the tip of the dipstick is located.
How many quarts of transmission fluid do you use in a 1976 Chrysler 232 transmission?

The only way is with a flush machine that changes fluid while the engine is running. Most service shops have the machines.
