tranny problems

[95silvergt5.0]

for some reason my tranny will not take more than 3 quarts of tranny fluid. Isn't it supposed to take 5? Any help appreciated

I think if you look again at the book it says pints not Quarts

When I switched my gears Autozone said the book called for like 11 or so. I don't remember how many I actually used but I'm pretty sure it was way more than 3

as long as the fluid is filled up to the fill plug, don't worry about it.
