Is it okay if there is a little air in the
torque converter? I don't know how to get it out anyway. When I had the tranny away from the engine, I took the converter off briefly and some fluid leaked out.
My plan is to put synthetic ATF in it but am not sure about the air that might be in there.
Also, will I have a prob with synthetic mixing with regular AFT?
I have it all back together now so I'm going to go with my instinct that pouring fluid in the tranny while the car is running will flush it just fine.
Thanks for the help,

just make sure the synethetic fluid your using meets the proper mopar specs for your transmission.. as far as air in there you will be fine as long as some fluid is in there just remember your going to have to run the engine and shift into all gears then check the fluid and you will probably have to add fluid...
To remove the torque converter, remove trans shield near the oil pan. There are four 18mm bolts connecting the torque converter to the flywheel.
Air is a non-issue. Remember there is a auto transmission dpstick to fill your trans. This filler tube is not air tight.
