check transmission light

[Dan]

Looking back, it was the book that was wrong. It takes seven gallons with a filter change not four. I will need to change it one more time after the fluid in the torque converter and coolant lines mix with the synthetic. I double checked the filter and it is the right one so I don't know maybe there was a change in capacity around 1988 when they changed to wide body and the book didn't get changed. I wonder what the book says for 1989 and 1990. Anyway I will change it again when I change the oil and see if the problem repeats.

air bubbles????. the torque converter holds fluid that wont drain with a flush alsothe transmission cooling device holds fluid. could be that the two (dino, synthetic) dont mix. even if they do mix when both are new. the old fluid may be different than what you think due to heat time ,additives, moisture etc. at idle there is less throw in the t/c and less slinging oil.
The other possibility is in your post. (wrong filter was used) ( the tech screwed with a valve when removing the filter??)
