Max Power 74 Report post Posted October 3, 2014 Probably nothing bad, but I would pour a couple three quarts in there to give things a head start. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You definitely need to fill a torque converter before you install it. Failure to do so will most likely cause damage to the torque converter and the pump. If you remember the TV show Monster Garage with Jesse James, they failed to fill a torque converter up and ended up destroying a transmission in one episode.
