Torque converter fluid change
Ok so I'm draining The TC
I would think that when the plug in back in all's ya have to do is start the engine and the fluid will go from the trannie into the TC.
This being the case does anyone know if a person didn't drain the TC and did a fluid change would the fluid stay in the TC or work its way out and be replaced with the new stuff
If I explained it right.
I changed the fluid a few weeks ago and didn't kno how to do the TC now that I know I'm doing it and the fluid that came out stank like well you know what..
So I'm thinking that the new fluid didn't mix with the old

Not to worry. Few people understand the intracacies of automatic transmissions. The primarly flow from the pump goes directly through the torque converter. Fluid is pumped into and out of the TC through the neck. Most of the transmission's heat is developed in the Torque converter so it must have adequate circulation to keep it cool.
