installing a new 4r55e, fluid level
I'm installing a new 4r55e into my '97 explorer. Tranny tech told me that it should take up to 11-12 qts of atf. He said to not to remove the TC and just install the tranny and put 5qts in the tranny and crank it up (he said this will fill the TC), then add as needed. I have since added 5 1/2 more qts in it and the dip stick is showing way too much fluid (i checked both sides and dipped it like 4 times). This morning it engaged into drive but still doesn't engage reverse. It feels like it engages for 1-2 seconds then feels like it just goes into a neutral position (I can rev it and it doesn't go). the atf looked a little aerated last night when i was checking it as i put it in.
also when it was at about 7-8 qts of fluid it moved in drive and reverse but with high rpms and just felt like it was slipping.
help please!!!! I don't doubt the tranny shops work i think my issues maybe be the fluid level but i dont know. any help it appreciated thank you
