Subject: DML: Disappearing ATF Fluid????
I installed a shift kit and deep pan on my 2000 45RFE the other day.
http://www.y2kota.us/deeppan.html
Added fluid, checked level to be close to OK. Drove it some for a day.
It needed fluid again. OK, Maybe some dripped out beyond the normal
amount of just the time it takes to do the filter and ATF change.
Remember I also did the shift kit. That took time, that some more
dripped out. But after 3 days of topping it off, this seams to be not
right. Its low again. I checked under the truck, no signs of it leaking
form the pan seal, fitting no signs of it on the undercarriage from
being blown back while driving. It not in the oil or coolant. No drips
on the pavement when sitting.
Where did it go???????

When you remove the valvebody, you lose fluid from the TQ converter as
well.
You need to check the fluid when it's at operating temp (not cold). If
it's
at the proper level and then it disappears, check the radiator fluid for
ATF
in there (if you have the integrated cooler in the radiator).
