How much tranny fluid for c6

[sectlandscaping]

My pan is leaking and I'm going to pull it. I have to order the pan because nobody carries it. Going to replace the filter too. I just need to know how much fluid to buy? Also its a dump truck that I use for plowing should I get the deeper pan? If so how much more fluid would I need?

If your just doing the filter then you will not be draining the tranny completely. Add about three quarts then check and add as needed.

the stock pan holds 4 quarts, there are deeper pans available & usualy identification comes with them on how much they hold.being a plow truck,i do recomend a deeper pan & a trans cooler.looking in my summit racing manual to give you an idea the deep C-6 pan holds 6 quarts,is made of aluminum,has a drainplug & is finned at the bottom for cooling purposes.they are about 130 bucks there. check part stores & such you may find one less expensive.

My shop manual is showing a 2wd C6 holds 11.75 qts and 13.375 qts for a 4wd trans, that's if the tc has been drained as well. One thing to note about deep trans pans is...depending on brand, there is cross member interference.

Also, I found a new pan at Autozone for $25. With a drain plug.

Thats the one I ordered. I put 6 quarts in and its still low. Not sure whether to buy another gallon or a couple quarts. It might only need one or two but its $6 a quart and $15 a gallon.

did you just drain the pan? if the stick shows nothing add 2 quarts,1 at a time &run the engine & check it.the trans could have been low on fluid before you started.just dont over fill it.

Yeah it was just the pan but the pan and cooler lines were leaking before the repair. The stick was showing a quart off after I put in 6. I bought another but havent added it to see if its good yet. I was just curious why it was off after 6 but I guess it mightve been the leak.
