Re: IML: 67 trans fluid

["Chris Strohmeyer" <chrisstroh@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

9-1/4 quarts is what my owners manual says for my 67.  But that doesn't mean 
because you've drained the pan that that is the amount to put back in! 
Others will be able to tell you what the pan holds and what the torque 
converter holds.
If you know it leaked enough until the car won't move in gear I'd start by 
adding ONE PINT ONLY and see if the car will move in gear and so on until it 
does. Then I would warm it up thoroughly by driving it gently around the 
block until it's at operating temp. THEN with the brake on and the gearshift 
in NEUTRAL at IDLE pull out your transmission dipstick at see where it is 
and add accordingly. Remember, the stick reads in PINTS not quarts. If you 
see nothing on the stick then add a PINT and look again.
You don't want to overfill your transmission!!  All of this is dependant 
upon that your transmission has a leak and nothing else.
You should invest in at least an original owners glovebox pamphlet that runs 
you through the routine procedures. They have reprints of them on ebay for 
about $10. They also have service manuals specific to your car on line which 
are fabulous!
Hope this helps,
