Sounds to me like you didn't get all the old stuff out, it took me and my bro ages to get all of the old stuff out

Or to put it another way, how much did you have to put in?

Hi Greynada,
It took approx 6 litres, which, reading other posts sounds about right I believe?
I'm always open to correction, but I believe the TQC holds a considerable amount?
Best Regards,
Steve

mine took 8 litres when refilled after a filter off oil change. No idea what came out, but it was a pretty large amount.

seriously, we used almost 20 litres to make sure all the old crap was properly flushed out, box was still screwed, but was worth a try

mine was in good order, as low mileage and no apparent faults, so was happy not to pay out for yet more fluid and I would guesstimate that only left a litre in the torque converter (think capacity all up is 9 litres)
