auto tranny problem need help asap - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Would having the fluid overfilled in the tranny cause the torque converter to slip? Cuz when I drained the fluid out, it had a total of 4 quarts. Also my dad said if the filter is dirty, the tranny won't function right

yes and yes. check your FSM to see how many quarts you should have. my 240 came swapped so i havent had the pleasure of doing one myself yet, but 4qts to me sounds QUITE low- i doubt very seriously you were overfilled
