My t/c holds 10 liters, and pan has 6 liters. Any on the dipstick? Sounds like you need more oil.

From one dipstick to another...get a new (correct) dipstick.

Fully dry A 47re will use close to 17 quarts. More if you have a better Torque Converter or a deep pan.

Mine with a deep pan used almost 2 cases. (12 in a case right?)
