[V8] Cheap tranny fix....well kinda

[Ed Kellock]

I kinda wanna say no because the you're just draining the pan and whatever
fluid is in the cooler will stay in the cooler.  I did the drain/fill on my
93 two years ago when I first got it and haven't ever checked the fluid (mea
culpa), but it seems to operate just fine.  Did the same with the engine
donor 92 and it fixed limp mode light display, which would only come on when
the car was cold, but not after it was warmed up and the engine was
restarted.

Well, Ron.  I was just thinking the 4 qts thing would work fine for  
the 90 (before leaks).  But I don't think that works on the later  
cars with the additional trans coolers.  I thought the additional  
trans cooler might lead to more fluid coming out and more needing to  
be added than the 4 qt rule of thumb.
