thanks for elaborating

If i can’t trust specs that are provided to me, then what I’m looking for is a quick and basic idea of how to fill it up without overfilling on really any type of vehicle that may roll into the shop.

[matt]

I used the specification provided to me by the owner of the shop. I know i left some information out, this was on purpose because what I’m truly trying to ascertain is how to fill a cold transmission without having a trustworthy specification on capacity after a pan gasket drain or filter removal. If you could perhaps let me know how you would proceed in that situation, that would really be great. Something to the effect of ,
1. I always start with X – check stick – turn car on- recheck stick – ect.. then drive until transmission is warm and recheck.
thank you

i read a lot and you seemed to cover ignition, and a lot of air flow avenues ect… i suggest a fuel pressure and fuel volume test as opposed to just using injector cleaner. ect..that could explain the surging during what would seem during all conditions open throotle plate and closed.

[matt]

do you think starting with 3 quarts with auto trans is the best way to go – for starts, if i don’t have a realiable specification?
