For those of you who changed out your torque converter to the new euro TC, how much fluid did you need to add back?

I only lost about 1 quart when I swapped the torque converter. The torque converter doesnt hold much, and you wont be able to add much to the new one when you install it. You will lose some fluid when you pull the old converter off the tranmission input shaft.

I needed almost 11 quarts when I drained the transmission to replace the filters. I lost a few more than normal because I removed the valve body to install a shift kit.

X2 about 1 quart, if you do the GDE method.
