Hi everyone, just drained the old TH400 From a HZ Stato..and installed new seals and sump gasket.... now i need to refill it with tranny oil.. question is how much fluid does this box hold... it has a 12 inch standard converter.. i have tried the internet for figures and came up with 6 quarts for the box and 4 quarts for the stall... i think its about 10 litres... can someone please verify this for me ( i emptied the converter and box and got about 5 liters maximum out..does it retain any oil, ?.. by the way , the fluid was crystal clear when removed, i bought it of a mate who bought it of a mate..so i changed the filter and had a little inspection, hence the oill change..
Thanks in advance , and what type of tranny fluid will suit this box? Dexron 111 ?
Cheers , Anthony

They hold about 10.4 litres totally empty, and about 4L after a pan removal. The converter retains plenty of oil. Dexron III is the go, but if its a fully rebuilt box or you can get it flushed (powerflush) after its in and running Id use Valvol

Just pore the stuff in till it comes out the top.. Nahh just kidding I say about 10litres .. expensive ouch..Will depend a little on the size of your oil cooler and convertor. I wish I had done what byron said with the seals etc. Will see how it goes for

Tanks mate, about $60 for 10 litres.... any idea what it may cost to get the internal seals replaced by an auto specialist? Or if its a no brainer , do you think i could have a crack at it ?
Also, any tips on how to remove that tiny little selector seal

I just take them to a transmission shop when they are out. Costs about $75 for the service without fluid. Theyll replace the rubbers whilst there.
