ok so when i put the torqe converter back in my car fluid came out of itand now my car struggles to get to 20 mph(drove it back home from exhaust shop) and i was wondering if i have to take the motor back out to fill the torqe converter or should i fill the trans.. both trans dipsticks say full so i dont know what to do and i really dont feel like pulling the engine back out a 5th time.. anyone?

you need to fill the converter till its half full. so you need to take the engine out agian.

ok back to the converter... can i use gravity to get the fluid in the trans to goto the converter? my buddy brought it up and it didnt seem to be a half bad idea. get my car on a steep incline backwards and let the motor run in neutral then give a few good revs and see if i can drive again.ive got nothing to lose now so should i try it or should i pull the motor out and fill the converter?
