727 pumping enough

oK - Snaps my neck when i get on it . Tires chirp in 3rd- Removed my external trans cooler and connected lines up to the AL radiator fittings Loosened a fitting in Nuetral and had trans fliud spray out.
I was nervous when I removed the external cooler and it was pretty dry. Fluid must have ran back to the trans. I am going to add a Temp gauge for the trans. The guy that dies with the most gauges WINS!!! right????
Thanks for your help
Only if all the gauges read "empty" :-)
