When I had my Suncoast installed they put 3 full gallons of Amsoil ATF in. It has been leaking out of both ends of the tranny ever since. I check it cold in the morning since I can't ever get it up to the 180 degree "hot" temp. It's over the mark quite a bit. So I removed about 40 oz so far. Does anyone know what a complete fill is on this unit with a stock pan? |

Really? I know that's what the Amsoil site said but it just seems to be high on the dipstick and leaking out everywhere... I wonder if there was some fluid that didn't get drained out of the trans or cooler lines? That would seem almost impossible... |

Is the transfer case included in the sump? |

In the sump there is only 5-6 quarts then rest is hiding near TC about 9 quarts the trick to replacing all fluid is to open one side of trans cooler and stop when you get to about 9 Q then top with new fluid and drain sump for rest of it and top up. In your case you need to siphon a lot of fluid back. Even mine is overfilled and I need it to take back for siphon fix. |

I wonder if the Suncoast doesn't hold as much fluid as the stock TC? |
