Hey gang! A guy just changed trans pan gasket on his 73 351 C6. Getting conflicting info on fluid capacity. Any fellers got a number? Thanks!!
+1, making sure to use the correct procedure to check the capacity. Usually with the car and fluid at operating temperature and the engine running. Some owners manuals will say to be in a specific gear, or to work through all of the different gear selector positions, then back to park, leave it running, and check the fluid.All depends exactly which pan as there are a few different factory types. Best method is verifying correct dipstick level then fill. Anything else is just a guess
Not sure gonna look. ThanksAre you sure it didn't puke out the dipstick tube? The full level is slightly above your pan gasket anyway, so that gasket is either good or it's not, over full or not. Once that stuff comes raining down it gets everywhere, and where it's actually coming from can be misleading. Any time I've overfilled mine it comes out the dipstick tube. It might even be at the base of the dipstick tube if it's not sealed great.
