The tranny takes 1.9 Litres, but I normally pop the 2 Litres in as there are no issues with it. Lower the car again, now you have two ways of filling up the tranny fluid, from the filler hole or from the top of the tranny, I personally use the top of the tranny and it's easier as well with my ghetto tranny hose LOL!Ħ. After all is drained, lift the car and pop the drain plug back.ĥ. Lower the car off the jackstands (To ensure a proper drain while the car is flat on the ground)Ĥ.
