[snip] pulled into my garage and checked it and it was just at the first hot hole and I added another quart, drove around the block and it was between the holes for hot fill and made for my guess is to make the top of the mark for full hot will take at least 1/2 qt to quart more. I will know this evening when the wife get home and I can check it before she shuts it off.
How many of you have checked tranny fluid HOT from 10+ mile drive in summer heat, parked on level ground with tranny in park? Everytime the dealer has dropped the pan they refilled accoarding FSM and it ended taking about 9 qts instead of 4.7L the FSM stated to bring to full mark (top hole in upper hot section on dipstick, not lower cold section) some may be running several qts low. It will take about 2 qts to go from bottom hot hole mark to top hot full hole mark. You won't believe how smooth the tranny is with propper fill of fluid.
I drove mine today for 15 miles and then checked it. It was at the bottom of the first hot fill hole and the outside temperature is cool at 75. I got a quart and put half of it in and it's right at the top hole. I've not driven it much to know if it shifts better. Lately I've noticed a rough shift at just under 30 mph when going easy. My surging/shuttering mostly only happens when it's not totally warmed up. So seeing how much lower cold is then hot it may correct the surging/shuttering at 50+ Also the other night totally warmed up it surged for a good 15-20 seconds and it's never gone on that long. Maybe at 2800 miles it's raising it's ugly head
Mine did this and I took it in for the TSB 18-023-06 and the F31 recall and the problem is gone.
