Okay, getting ready to head up to Omaha next Friday. Going thru my checklist(s). One of the things I wanted to do was calibrate my tranny dipstick via the Mueller Way.
1. I have an aftermarket tranny dipstick, a small diameter tube running to the drivers side hood access, and a long skinny plastic dipstick.
2. I ran the engine for a minute or so.
3. I removed the modulator. No fluid ran out, and I guess I could see some fluid WAAAAYYYY down there with my flashlight.
4. I said "yikes".
5. I poured ATF right into the governor orifice, rather than force feeding ATF into the 1/4" dia tube up front.
6. Poured in 1 qt, then a second, then a third.....finally I got ATF up over the smaller diameter hole the governor shaft goes down into....after 6 freaking quarts. I stopped there thinking I have really messed up. Please note that another quart will probably fill up the "hole" of the governor.
Yes, those of you smarter than me (all of you) probably noticed that I removed the governor and not the modulator PER THE INSTRUCTIONS.
I am ASSuming that the removal of the modulator will get me back to where I want to be after loosing all of that precious Mobil 1.
