Gent's, what tranny fluid have you had the best luck out of??? How many quarts do the torque convertor holds???

 

plain old Dexron III

 

i would say 7 or 8 quarts but then again how can i remember since i converted my car to a 5-spd.

 

If you don't mind me asking, how much did your swap cost you total, including everything to the point where you got in and drove off.

 

I did the swap to but mine ended up costing WAY more then it should have. I ended with almost 2 of everything because the first time it was not installed correctly.

Here is what it would have costed if I didnt have to do it the second time.

Parts car - $550
Clutch Kit - $135
Tools - $155
Fluids - $35
Flywheel - $165

There may be more charges but I cant remember

 

a grand total of about $240, maybe a little more but put it this way:

mounts
brackets
shift linkages
$50 for:
shifter
clutch pedal
clutch master
clutch lines
clutch slave


$100 for:
flywheel
pressure plate
5-speed tranny
all nuts and bolts


$40 for:
brand new clutch plate (before engine swap)

the rest of the money went into misc. stuff like fluids and other parts that i needed. took me 2 days to do it.
