OK So back when i removed my radiator, a ton of red fluid came out from one of the fittings which i thought was trans fluid. I just bought new fluid to re-fill oit, but when i pull my dipstick and look at it, its about 4 inches ABOVE the "F" on the dipstick, the fluid is a nice red color by the way. Is there enough fluid in there? What all drained out? aaah PLEASE help me.
you have to get the engine running before you check the fluid level with the dipstick. The fluid drains out of the torque converter when it sits, and goes back into when you run it. So, don't panic yet, all is normal.
yep, get it running and warm, might even shift it a few times front/back front/back... then check stick with car running... you will probably be a quart low or so.
