Hey, additional trans coolers?.....not sure I was aware of
that.....does that make the total fluid greater?....Like I said, I
emptied the pan when I got it(was quite low as I recall)...I've done
the whole flush/filter/etc on the '90, and as I recall, it took
around 10 quarts(which some of which blew out on me @ 8000 ft going
up to Snowbird).....will never again fill the motor/tranny to "full"
as it definatly does expand. Is there more to the tranny cooler than
in the '90? Inform me...awsome....I'm thinking it's a leaker
(hopefull).....I'm going to get the beast up on a lift tomorrow/ASAP,
so there's no guessing.....Bummer is that I filled the whole
hydraulic system with mobil 1 atf(tranny already had it), and the rack
(only) is hemmoraging.....the pump(out of one of Ron's "mint" cars is
flawless, most of the line's had been rebuilt previous(with the HI
pressure one even having a stainless braid on it), but I have been
seeing "red" all over....assumed that it was from the
hydraulics.....Not sure if everyone remember's this, but it was Ned
Ritchie's wife's car(Intended Acceleration), and he told me that the
front main seal came out on the highway, and it blew a lot of oil
quick(she pulled over immediatly and saved the vehicle).....That/
timing belt/ebrake cable/bushings had been done prior to him"selling"
it to his Nephew, who sadly(except for me), had no clue, and trashed
the car. I'll report back as soon as I've found the leak....Thanks to
all...Sincerely Tom
