Before installing a new torque converter, it's typically recommended to add about 1 to 2 quarts of the appropriate transmission fluid. This helps to ensure that the converter is filled and reduces the risk of running the transmission dry upon startup. Always check the manufacturer's specifications for the exact amount and type of fluid required. Additionally, it's important to allow the converter to soak up fluid before installation for optimal performance.

The transmission drain plug on a Harley-Davidson Dyna Wide Glide is typically located on the bottom of the transmission case. It's a hex-headed bolt that can be accessed from beneath the motorcycle. Make sure to use the appropriate tools and take precautions to catch any fluid that drains out. Always refer to the owner's manual for specific details and torque specifications.

In hydraulic systems, fluid is used to transfer force and enable movement. When the top goes up, hydraulic fluid is directed into the cylinder that raises it, increasing the pressure and causing the top to lift. Conversely, when the top goes down, the fluid is released from that cylinder, allowing it to lower as the pressure decreases. This fluid movement is essential for the smooth operation of hydraulic mechanisms.

Yes, you should still consider changing the transmission fluid even if it appears red. While a red color typically indicates that the fluid is still relatively fresh, other factors such as age, mileage, and the presence of contaminants can affect its performance. It's important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for fluid changes, as they can vary based on the vehicle and driving conditions. Regular maintenance helps ensure optimal transmission function and longevity.
