How many tranny fluid can I expect to put back in after putting in a transgo jr and changing the filters?

IIRC..I added maybe 1 and a half jugs. Started it up and then checked fluid level..might have needed to add some more..but memory is dim of that event. Still not a bad place to start...better than over filling and having to drain.

Your dipstick should show right in the middle of the hot zone when you have the correct amount of Transynd in...That is, I am assuming you are putting Transynd in the ally..?

Miine took about 9 1/2 quarts. You lose quite a bit more than usual when you pull the valve body.

8-9 quarts or about 2 gals sounds right

When doing the spin on you will only lose about a cup and a half or what is in the filter. When you drop the valve body with a shallow pan and let it drip out for about an hour you will need right at 9 quarts to refill it(had my valve body off way to many times while chasing a ghost in the ALLISON).
