Sidekick 4speed Automatic 03-72LE // Venting ATF // Capacity Question

[fixkick]

Hello. and welcome!
sounds like an overfilled trans. by over 200% !!!!!!
the page you used is the overhaul spec. not the page 25 spec. in FSM.(drain and fill)

the P/S switch near the stick, sets shift hardness. (power or economy) its causes last shifting for power.(speed)

2 piece tube. the bottom is welded to pan. the top fits with 0-ring to the bottom flared tube,it only needs to seated in the bottom flare, 100% to work right.
what if the dipper is wrong.?

the wrong page to read is here, this is overhaul. page., not drain and fill.

the book is here, page 7A-24-26, 4speed (add 1.6 qt for 3sp and 4sp, both step C)

http://www.acksfaq.com/96-FSM-v1-7A-pdf.htm

see page 7A-26 step 7C. add 1.6quarts. (not 5) using the largest Dexron number , as mark III is no longer made, and the newer is far better. (off shelf Mark VI)

steps A to K cover all 4 speeds made for 10 years, up to 1998.
good luck !!!
