How much fluid goes into a turbo 350 transmission to make it full?

Not 100% sure but I think 10-12 ? quarts. < if memory serves >. also if this is a new tranny and converter ... place about 2 quarts in converter before install and be sure to lube the snout/seal, then put about 4 quarts in tranny, and with the rear wheels off the ground < chock fronts for safety > start the car up and go through the gears at about 1000rpm < do NOT rev it >and then add 2 quarts more, and repeat. always check level before adding and add as necessary. When checking the fluid level car must be on level ground/jackstands.

With the wheels off the ground make sure the rear tires stop turning before you put trans. in park.

How much it holds will depend on how deep your pan is and how big/small of a converter you have. I would do as they suggested above. I agree if it is bone dry about 10 qts. if I remember right.

With my 10" converter mine holds right about 10 qts. With a stock converter it held 12 qts.

Thanks for all the help. The problem was my dad and I would check the fluid, put some in because it was a little low, and take it for a ride. Then a couple hours after we got back there would be a puddle on the floor. This happened twice. I thought maybe we were over filling it. I am also trying to see if it is comming out from around the dipstick hole,
