Alright so I screwed up and put my converter in dry during my build. Now I'm very close to firing up for the first time and breaking in my cam...I'm worried about burning up the converter.
A buddy told me I could put 5 or 6 quarts in the trans, unbolt the converter from the flexplate and turn it by hand to get it to pump in some fluid. I've tried this, and it doesn't seem to be working. The fluid level is not changing on the dipstick.
Any ideas? Is it worth pulling the trans back out to add that 1 quart of fluid? or will I be OK during the 20 minute break-in if I have somebody watching the fluid level and adding?
Thanks
