Would 4 quarts be enough?
Also sometimes the shift selector is not quite right, park sometimes does not lock right away and sometimes drive does not set untill I pull it back some. Is there a linkage adjustment?
If you only drained the pan (and not the torque converter) then 3.5-4 quarts sounds about right. But you missed about 55% of the fluid by not draining the torque converter too. Still better than nothing though.
