G'day! Just wondering whether any of you blokes can help me please? I decided to drain my tranny and put a new filter and fluid in. '63 Valiant, /6 and 904.
All went well until I refilled it. I checked the FSM and it said 15 pints. We have been metric here since '66 (DUH!) and the conversion I worked out to be 9 litres.
OK, so I put in 5 litres started it and ran thru the pushbuttons and then added the rest.
When I checked the dipstick idling in neutral it shows a little over the word "full" on the dipstick.
Will this damage the tranny if i drive it this way?
If so, how do I get the extra pint out of the tranny please?
Hope I'm no the first dope to do this?
All advice appreciated thanks
Regards
Gary

15 us pints = ~15L

15 US pints = 7.0976471 liters

1 litre = 2.11 US Pints
1 litre = 1.75 Imperial Pints

We really need to standardize.
Except for all the whiney cry-babies that can't do math, we'd be on the metric system by now.

Yikes...thinking You Ess Quartz and typing Peintz....
.

An Imperial gallon is 4.5L and a US gal = 4L (for pump side math)

Only thing I buy in pints is draught ale .......Imperial of course.

Then the conspiring tool companies wouldn't need to sell both types of tools!

Imperial pints? Of beer? 20 ozs!! Yum!

OK, all fixed now.
Just bought a cheap fluid transfer pump and took a litre out.
Next time I'll add sslloooowwllyy so i don't overfill.

Thanks to all posters - really appreciate the help that is always offered on this site.
