how many quarts?

[88elimnator]

Does anyone know how many quarts an AW4 trans takes I just put it back in after doing an engine swap and it won't do anything, I've already put 5 quarts in it. Thanks

Did you remember to bolt the converter to the flexplate?

[88elimnator]

yes its in there the way it came out and it worked when it came out

[Geonovast]

So you didn't let any fluid out of the tranny at all? Did you leave the converter in the bellhousing, or did you pull it out with the motor?

[88elimnator]

I pulled it out with the motor drained all the old fluid put 5 quarts of new fluid in and it don't even try to go into gear

Are you seeing fluid on the dipstick? If not keep adding 1 quart at a time till you do.... if thats the problem. All your electrical connections together? , Shift cable hooked up? Driveshafts in?

[88elimnator]

yea theres fluid on the dip stick, and everything is hooked up. I just can't figure out what happend.

[Geonovast]

Did you fill the converter back up before putting it on?

[dasbulliwagen]

If you didnt refill the converter before reinstall, start the truck, let it run in neutral and keep rechecking the fluid level, and add if needed.

[88elimnator]

no I didnt refill the converter I'll try leting it run in neutral for awhile. thanks

[aemsee]

Did you install the converter in the trans and install, or bolt it to the flexplate first then install trans?
