After seeing numerous threads I decided to try something. I also have an 8"x 8" x 1-1/2" external cooler behind grille(probably holds 1pt. at most)
4days sitting- about 3" overfill on stick(not running).
Neutral start- <20secs @Fast idle to get close to regular markings. Didn't worry about 'hot' full marking because I knew it was already correct.
After thoroughly warmed up, checked again after 10min shutdown- 1" overfull(probably about normal when not running)
1hr. after shutdown- 2" overfill.
Boy it sure doesn't take long for drainback, this was a self rebuild yrs ago when I sold the race Hemi trans that I set up & freshened once while racing.
Now the real question is it always sealing rings on reaction shaft, t.c. control valve leakage,regulator valve leakage,frt clutch bushing wear? Just trying to get a consensus, just never remember this hesitation to go into gear(either direction) years ago. My original trans probably had 40K+ before I tore it down to upgrade. Maybe we'll find a better answer than the FABO guys can come up/or anyone else. Jeff
