That's what I needed to know. If the tranny is empty then you need to put 4 qts in it and start it. Add about 4 more qts. and check it. Add and check till it is at the proper level. Don't add more than 4 qts. without starting or it will run out the vent tube. Let me know if you have any more questions.

Ok are we talking about the tranny fluid. I am talking just about the Torque Converter itself. ?

The converter fills from the pan with the engine running. there is no way to know how much until you fill it to the proper level.

I am correct though that you do have to drain it seperately correct....

Yes. There is a drain plug next to one of the studs on the flywheel side.
