Last night I drained the fluid, dropped the pan, put a new filter in, and put in the k-1 kit. I went to drain the torque converter and my 5mm allen snapped. So, while I wait for a ride to home depot, I figure I will ask a series of questions:

1) My Febi AT filter and Gasket kit did not come with any replacement crush washers. Is it okay to use the old ones? If not, can I find these at home depot? The ones that came off my car are not copper, they are silver.

2) What is the procedure for starting the car up for the first time after a trans fluid change? Should I add 4-5 quarts (before start-up), shift through the gears and add the rest until it is some distance under the low mark? (what distance would this be on a 722.317, anyone know?).

3) I don't have a torque wrench that reads down as low as 7 nm. How finicky is the gasket when it comes to leaking? I tightened all of the bolts very similarly (not too hard), and I'm hoping I won't leak out all of my new mobil 1.

4) Is there a torque spec for the trans and TC drain plugs?

Also, it IS possible to turn the crank bolt over without removing the fan on the 603. It just requires a lot of wiggling and a fair amount of above-the-car/under-the-car interplay.
