Hi all
A few questions
How much oil does the auto trans system take?
Must you use DII or can DIII be used?
I have the gaskets and filter....any advice for changing these parts on an auto trans?
many thanks

The sump bolts should be very lightly nipped up all the way around. Then keep going round nipping them up more until you see the gasket getting slightly squashed, and the tension feels slighlty harder.
I try and use my thumb and two fingers to turn the wrench. It seems a good way to get a good even tightness across each bolt.
Mike is VERY correct when he says "Dont overtighten". I have one which I over tightened on my first attempt, and I always get a few drips coming out from that place now, because the threads are knackered.
I'll re-tap and put a bigger bolt in their when I get the chance.
Dont be frightened to have a go. If you're unsure about the torque, its best to under tighten, rather than knacker your threads up.
The first time I took my sump off, I took all the bolts out with my fingers ! And it never leaked once!
It does now though ! LOL
