71 Fastback with Auto Transmission Engine Install
Posted: Wed Oct 05, 2022 1:04 pm
Hello all!
I'm a bus guy but I have been rebuilding a Type 3 fastback. The motor is all ready to go back in. It has an automatic transmission that I initially intended to swap for a manual, but after reading about the conversion process, I've decided to leave it automatic.
Is there anything special I need to do when re-installing the motor with the automatic transmission? How do I keep the torque converter full as I install the motor? I remember it was a waterfall of ATF when I removed the motor for rebuild.
Never messed with an automatic transmission before, so sorry if this is a silly question.
Thanks!
