C-6 slipping
I just put my new (rebuilt) 351w into the Bronco, hooked everything up and the transmission is slipping. Pan was leaking so I changed the gasket and filter (the old fluid and inside the pan were surprisingly clean), put 4 1/2 quarts of mercon fluid into it, did the 2 minute idle, shift through the gears, and checked it and the level was good. Drove it maybe 2 miles and it was slipping bad, got it back on level ground and check the fluid. Not even on the dipstick, so I add another quart and drive it another mile. Still slipping, check it and add another quart or quart and a half and same problem. It's a C-6 and it worked great less than a month ago when I pulled the motor. It leaked the whole time it was on the jacks till I changed the gasket yesterday. Any ideas why it would be doing this all of a sudden? It honestly feels like it doesn't have enough fluid but I've added quite a bit. I'm pretty frustrated right now. Any help is greatly appreciated! I want to drive this thing!!!!--Eric

keep adding fluid till it reads on the dip stick those trany hold like 23 lites also adjust the the 2nd gear clutch band by tighting the adjuster nut on the side of the trany to 120 in lbs then back it of 1 1/2 turns.
