Transmission Questions

[l_moul]

I was just wondering if anyone happens to know how many quarts of ATF are supposed to be but in a tranny for an R32 Gtst. I already replaced it once, and guess i didn't get enough fluid in it (even though the dipstick said there was enough) because about a month or 2 later, the transmission was totally shot once again. I'm just wondering, because I'm running out of transmissions to put in it.

Also, does anyone know if there is a gear ratio difference between a tranny for a GTS and a GTS-t?

Thanks in advance.

I can't help much since your in japan but a respectable automatic transmission shop should be able to help, and I would say there are differences in GTS and GTS-T transmissions, how much extra power is being put through a turbo model compared to a non-turbo.

Yeah, that's part of the problem is that I don't speak very good Japanese, and we already did the swap, it seems to be running ok, but i know for a fact that i have too much fluid in it right now, and everywhere I have asked won't tell me, I had one guy tell me 13 quarts, which is like 12.5 liters, and i think that's way way too much, of course mines going to take more then if i was just changing the fluid, as the tranny was totally drained, including the torque converter. A friend of mine said that I might blow my seals with too much fluid in it, but I haven't had any problems so far, just that I checked the fluid, and it has too much in it. Last time I did the swap, I put 4 quarts in it, and the tranny was totally burned up withing a couple months. The only reason I had the spare auto-trannyt this time, is because I did an auto-manual conversion on my GTS-T, and had the auto from that. It seems like the GTS is a little more sluggish, and I figured that was because of the ratio difference, but the GTS is actually my wife's car, and she doesn't need a whole lot of power in the first place. If anyone knows an auto-tranny shop that could help, or knows how much ATF to put in the tranny, I would greatly appreciate some help.

Thanks again.
