I installed same early style t-400 by Wix 58879.
Tranny drank about 6 Qts total doing the usual 4 Qts to start then into R - D then right back to P and check level.
I had to patch up the pan's gasket surface some as the cable support bracket made some small holes from contact.
Now the only finished surface under the car ( besides the 55mm shocks) is the tranny pan...lol...some self etch primer & some dupli-color cast aluminum engine paint to the rescue!
Drove to work again and seems fine.
Not sure if my old filter was starting to plug up....what signs does that usually exhibit?
Got to spend a quality day under car doing some wire wheel & POR-15
I did have an issue with the engine oil pan Friday and very lucky I was going to a local shop.
