904 overfill? wrong fluid?

Hi there,

Did you fill the torque converter with as much fluid as possible before installing the converter into the transmission? 16 pints would be 8 quarts, which sounds about right with a dry converter.

It sounds like it started leaking out of the dipstick tube. I would start the vehicle, and let the converter fill in neutral. That should drop the fluid level down some.

It is ok to use ATF+3 even though it calls for dexron III, in fact I'd encourage it.
