Who filled the transmission and did they have a clue?
I recently burned up my clutches, drum, band clamp, and some other little ****. Cost me $1000... How much does rpm charge for labor?
my trans cooler is mounted up front behind a brake duct.
far as i know mayhem motorsports filled the trans and im starting to think either they dont have a clue or because of the distance i am away they dont care and both reasons are poor business practice either way
RPM will do you good just give them a call and talk to them and they can tell you more than i can

Yea, I had no clue how to fill an auto c5 trans(always had z06's) but I did the swap and burned up my trans because it was a gallon low on fluid.
I mean I knew about filling them "pump fluid in the drain plug until it overflows, rinse repeat, go through the gears and do it again. The key part that I had no clue about was filling it while it was running... See I would shut it off after going through gears.... jump under the car and pump some until it filled. I did this about 10 times until it was automatically overflowing when I checked the drain plug. After my tuner came by and we got it 1, 2, 3 shifting with no problem I thought I had it whooped. Well when it started to flare in 2nd gear I started researching and found the proper filling technique. Long story short, I was a Gallon low on fluid and fried that baby.
What I am wondering is if this shop didn't fill it correctly causing it to get so damn hot.
My only problem with that is my car stayed at 170* -180* all the time, B&M Supercooler in the pass side brake duct compartment.
