[T3] 73 auto trans shifting questons. For those with 003 autotrans

[William J]

 Yes , you are probably right. I have also noticed different fill spec based 
on where you look. I was more concerned about churning and foaming and I 
think you siad once it would need to be far over filled before the fluid 
would reach the moving parts to do this.

 I looked here: 
http://www.vwtype3.org/owners.manual/mechanical/autotrans.shtml seems to be 
far more fluid than I filled.
