The Bentley spec. is for normal fluid and filter change. If the trans was
disassembled or the torque converter drained, you will need more. Fill to
between the marks with the tranny warm.

Subject: How much AT fluid?

Well, I've gotten everything back together, filled the final drive and added
additional fluid (Redline) to the AT, a total of 3.2 Qts, as listed on back
cover of
Bentley and other places.
Went through all of the gears at idle, a couple of times, took it out for a
drive of
5-6 miles, everything working smoothly, checked the level of AT in Park,
engine at
idle, van perfectly level, and the fluid just barely shows on the dipstick.
Did I do something wrong maybe, or should I just add more fluid?
