I want to flush out all the fluid in my transmission and I was just wondering how many quarts of tranny fluid should I get? Not just whats in the pan but actually changing out all the fluid in the tranny. Thanks for your time guys!

I just did this a few days ago, but I only changed what was in the pan. I used 2 quarts of Type-T IV.

Ive done that before I actually want to flush the whole transmission since Im pretty sure the guy I got the car from put the wrong fluid in it. Thanks for the reply though

Manual lists 8.3 quarts, but might want to get a few more in case.

So I went and got the tranny flushed, used 10 qts of type t IV but for some reason the trannys still acting the same way it did before now Im really stuck. When Im driving around local streets the car feels fine but if I take it on the highway for any significant period of time, the next day the car starts shifting funny hesitating off of a red light and not wanting to shift out of 1st gear unless I let off the gas. I know for a fact the previous owner put in the wrong fluid, would another flush help me at all? Im completely lost right now need all the help I can get

What's the mileage on the car? Depends on how long it was in there...and why it was in there...it could have been put in to try to correct a previous problem. As I'm pretty sure you know transmissions can be very sensitive to fluid types...clutch plates, detergents, friction modifiers, etc...you could try one more flush but I would leans towards have a reputable transmission shop taking a look at it so you don't waste anymore money on a transmission that needs a rebuild now.
