Good idea. maybe output side as well.

FYI:

I am getting near the end of this project. I have the used transmission up and have replaced a few different seals along the way. Those seals being the oil pump to torque converter seal, and the rear oil seal on the engine. I didn't do the rear most seal on the transmission. It looked fine and if it develops a leak I can do it later. Just working on the final details. I re-gasketed the tranny pan with some FIPG permatex gasket maker. So hopefully I can rap this project up soon.

What is the best way to fill up the tranny fluid? I am thinking of adding about half and then starting the engine up and adding the rest of the tranny fluid.

Fill it the the top of the "cold" level, start it for just a few seconds, and continue from there.

I have completed the transmission job. The car is working and shifting great! Thanks for all the help everyone!

as a side note. I found the Toyota FIPG to work best with the tranny pan. I used the permatex red and black back to back and both developed leaks. I wish I just bought the Toyota FIPG first would have saved me time and money.

I would be happy to share any of the knowledge I gained from doing this tranny replacement on my car with anyone. Thanks Again!!

So happy for you, wish I could have been more help.

billydpowe, as far as I can tell, you were exactly right about the trouble with the old tranny. The torque converter to pump relationship was broken. The teeth that connect the two were broken and sheared off. Thanks for all the help!
