need everyones opinion on bad trans shop

12 is 4 too many????? last time i posted on here about the 2-3 shift issue ppl were telling me to put in 14!!? so what is actual capacity? my converter stall speed did go to hell though (3700-2800).....maybe i just am overfilled...and i'm just assuming the trans shop screwed me again....8 quarts in a torqueflight??? is this seriously correct?

I just arbitrarily grabbed my old 70 shop manual, and it shows a variation of between 16 1/2 and 19 PINTS (not quarts). So as much as 9 1/2 quarts, and of course those figures were for full size TQs and stock size pans
