I just finished my AWD Auto swap this morning. The trans had an unknown amount of fluid in it, so we added 3 qt's, also during the install of the TQ converter, we put about a half a quart in it. Once we got moving it was very sluggish, almost hesitant to shift. Mind you this trans has been sitting for over 7 months. So we pulled over and attempted to check the fluid, but every time we pulled it out with the car running the whole stick was wet, but we added another qt, ran better, and shifted in to 4th at this point.
Is there a special way to check the fluid? Every time we pulled the stick it was completely covered, but it did this when we first started it when it was low.
Is it ok to run OEM trans fluid with lubegard? Will this possibly help?
