I found on the Dorman brand regulator/motor that I just replaced, the connector would never fully seat with the red lock mechanism engaged. The PO used a zip tie to hold them together. I ended up taping.

OK after a bit more research it appears to be around 8.5 quarts. So taking out about 3 quarts is about only 35% of the capacity. I'll have to do a few more drain/fills.

How much total tranny fluid does it take if you don't have a optional cooler? I'm trying to calculate what percentage of old fluid I am removing with each drain and fill. I'm getting about 3 quarts out each time, but I don't know the total volume. So far I've only done two drain and fills.
