torque converter questions

[BlackSnakeMoan]

I just finished installing a 2900 stall tc and i have a few concerns.

1- how many liters did u put in a new tc? (i did put 3)
2- I felt that the steering wheel is a bit stiffer. What should i do?

the guy who did the install say i better check the oil level at the dealership because the new oil cooler i installed taked oil and is not independent as the stock one.

Check power steering fluid with regards to the steering being stiffer.

Trans, was the new trans cooler installed in addition to the factory cooler? How much larger is the new one vs the factory unit? Not sure what you mean by the stock one being "independent".

I filled the torque converter slowly with as much fluid I could before installing. If you fill it and wait a few minutes, the fluid will settle and you can fill it more. I think I repeated that a few times but don't remember how many quarts it actually ended up taking.

Isn't that when

your step daughter tells you to "shut the fuck up" and means it?

No i replaced the old cooler and the old one is a bit bigger.

ya and theres this strong vibration that stays for about 5 secs coming from the tc area when im going 55 mi/h. Happened to me 3 times in the last 2 days.
Do u know what might have caused it?

???????

Yeah I didn't really get that remark either.......

You only need to put about a quart of fluid in the converter. The more you put the better ( and more messy). If your getting a vibration at 55mph you need to check the converter bolts and trans mount first. If those are ok I would run it on a lift to find out where its coming from. I own a Transmission Shop and do these all day.
