(not trying to scare you) And you don't need to refill the torque converter, the drain plug is just that, a drain plug, if the transmission is full of oil the pump will pump oil into it.

I drained the oil out of the convertor........... BROWN s**t came out,,,, so then i took th pan off to check the oil i put in it, still red, the filter is fine? The oil isnt going into the convertor. So i putoil in the convertor with a hand pump.. Wheel spin about a inch a minute... The cooler lines now have a few small drops in it.. Could it be a blockage?
