Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) transmission help.

[J.Post]

I changed the fluid in my 47RE and adjusted the bands as well. I used Autozone's Coastal transmission fluid which is supposed to be ATF+4. My owners manual didn't give me a capacity and the parts guy looked it up for me and said 4 quarts. It shows full on my dipstick (the dipstick fits odd and I don't fully trust it's reading) but the transmission slips a bit on hard left turns. I'm assuming I don't have quit enough fluid because it never slipped before. I've done a search for capacities but really didn't come up w/ anything. So the question is: How much fluid does the 47RE take when you do a fluid and filter change?

According to my 2001 Service Manual (page 21-717), "the service fluid fill after a filter change is approximately 3. 8 liters (4. 0 quarts). "



EDIT: just out of curiosity... without the service manual, where did you get the specs for band adjustment?

EDIT2: nevermind. I found what (at a glance) look like the service manual's procedures on Fritz's site. Weird that the refill spec isn't there, as well. Which adjustment spec did you follow?

It Is 6qts. Put In Two More And You Should Be Fine.
