To the OP, you need to turn the A/C on, high temp low speed, fill it up until overflow, then P-R-N-D-N-R-P and repeat. Do it about 7~8 times, and now fill it with TF again. Then repeat the whole process again. You have to make sure the fluid temp is between 30C to 40C (just use laser measures), and it barely overflow.
Good luck!~

Good on you for doing a 2x drain and fill- the ATF level between the two isnt that critical. When I did it, I drove 25 miles and it was probably a half L low. No big deal. Then I drained and did a refill trying to get it exact. PITA as the trans gets hot quickly.... |
