I put in a new torque converter. I added 1 qt to the converter and 4 qts in the transmission. I then started the car and ran it throught the gears the wheels a little and that was all. When I checked the dip stick the oil was way down. So how much flued dose the transmission sand coverter take?

keep the car at idle speed running,,if the whole transmission was drained it will probably take about 9 quarts,,maybe more,,just keep checking it,,and don't over fill it what ever you do,,this will mess it up,,it is better to be a quart low,,than a quart over full,after it gets to circulating real good you will be able to get a better reading on it,,just make sure you use a good fluid,,especially after a complete drain,,i own a repair shop,,and do this all the time,,for the first couple of days keep a check on it,,and make sure you don't have any leaks,,i hope this helps.

The torque converter takes around 4 quarts and the transmission takes around 4 quarts.

The torque converter can take about 1/2 quart to 1 quart, when you check your trans fluid always check it with the engine running. The dipstick should be pretty accurate, remember that it will expand a little when hot...

the torque convertor alone can handle up to 9 quarts, 12 quarts is a good start

You're probably going to be in the 10-12 quart range.
