    Wth?Deuce making to much power?

    If I remember the tc holds about 8 quarts. If you wanted to get really crazy, find a mom and POP tranny shop, and have them do a fluid exchange. A little left in the tc won't hurt much, we never get it all when we do pm's. Let me pull my books in the morning, to see what Allison says is...
