    That's because the TC is empty. It will fill itself once you start filling the trans. but you will have to fill, then start and run through the gears, then shut off and repeat until the fluid stays full. IIRC the converter holds like 4 quarts by itself. Maybe more.

    Yeah, you can probably get away w/o filling. Every mechanic/trans guy I've ever seen/talked to prefills a quart or two at the least.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
