| (1) Approximate quantities listed. (2) Add fluid until level is at MIN mark on dipstick. Start engine and allow it to idle. With brakes applied, shift transmission through all gear ranges and return to Neutral. Add additional fluid to bring level to MIN mark on dipstick. Recheck fluid level with transmission at normal operating temperature. Adjust fluid level to MAX mark on dipstick. (3) Quantity may vary with type of oil cooler and oil cooler lines. |

TRANSMISSION FLUID CAPACITIES (1)
Torque Converter Locks Up In 2nd &/Or 3rd Gear
Possible cause: defective lock-up solenoid, relay or wiring.
TORQUE CONVERTER
| CAUTION | Torque converter is a welded assembly and is not serviceable. If a malfunction occurs or if torque converter becomes contaminated with foreign material, it MUST be replaced. Torque converter cannot be flushed or repaired. |
Stall Speed Exceeds Specification
If torque converter stall speed exceeds specification by more than 200 RPM, transmission clutch is slipping.
Stall Speed Less Than Specification
- If torque converter stall speed is less than specification with a properly tuned engine, torque converter overrunning clutch may be slipping.
- If torque converter overrunning clutch is slipping, torque converter stall speed will be 250-350 RPM less than specification. Vehicle will operate properly at highway speeds, but will have poor low-speed acceleration.
Stall Speed Is Within Specification
If torque converter stall speed is within specification, but abnormal throttle opening is required to maintain highway speeds, torque converter overrunning clutch is seized. Torque converter must be replaced.
Noise When Performing Torque Converter Stall Speed Test
Whining noise caused by fluid flow is normal. A loud metallic sound indicates torque converter is damaged. To ensure sound is originating from torque converter, raise vehicle on hoist. Operate vehicle with transmission in Drive, and then Neutral at light throttle. Ensure noise originates from torque converter. Replace torque converter if defective.
