Just doing a sanity check... I pulled my radiator today to replace it and the most transmission fluid that drained out as I tipped it was about 3/4 cup, this seems very low....how much did you find came out when you poured it out???

I was informed that this is not a tank and its just a line that is in the radiator, so that explains why there was so little fluid.
Also, just a note, I disconnected both transmission lines at the engine, tied them in the upright position and quickly used the plugs from the new radiator to seal off the two pipes at the engine. There was very little spillage doing it this way. Thanks for the tip I found elsewhere on this site.

Just found an excellent post where a PDF shows that the lower tank has a tube running through it. Post #16 has that PDF.

When I did my radiator job not much trans fluid will come out. At least not enough to significantly raise a flag. Just make sure that when you reconnect everything you check the fluid level and make proper adjustments.
