    right you are! After adding, waiting, checking, adding....the total was right at 10 quarts. There must have been some fluid still in the tranny and cooling loop.

    Here's a question: As I got this tranny from a breaking yard (cherry auto in Cleveland), should I go ahead and get the filter replaced?

    I went to Jiffylube, was quoted $139 if I provided the filter, went to Autozone for a filter and gasket, and did it myself. Messy, but worth it for $100 in my pocket. It is SO nice to finally not hear whining and gears jamming.
