We will help if we can!
Thank you I posted it on feed

If you drained the 4t45 transmission by dropping the pan you need 7 quarts to refill to the proper level.

Is there a drain plug on your trans? My Lw300 did not have a drain plug so I dropped the pan. Either way if you drain the pan it holds 7 quarts.

From what I can find the transmission holds 10 quarts if completely empty. That includes the torque converter that holds 3. So I would put some more oil in it and see what happens. ��

The drain and refill on a 6t40 is 4.5 to 6.5 quarts. I would still try a little more oil. The transmission has to be removed to replace the torque converter. You may need a professional transmission shop help, they will be able to properly diagnose your problem. It may be a simple solenoid problem.
