New converter ?? Going to be completely disassembled ??Deep pan shallow ??


I needed all of 5 gallons + with a deep pan and triple lock TC ... But mine was DRY I mean DRY ... I would say have 5 gallons on hand .... If you have extra drain the T case and refill ....Don't forget to get the adapter gasket for the T case,dealer item ...

The Transgo kit comes with the other three,assuming you've got one ....


You'll need some sealant for the pump bolts in the bell housing on reassembly .... You should get a new spin on and pan suction filter ....

Also put copper washers under the two bottom converter housing bolts. There have been issues with case porosity causing pressurized fluid to leak into the thread area of those bolts.
