The manual trannys should hold between 3-5 quarts or liters. Some remains in the tranny if you drain it with the tranny level. With the tranny hot and the front raised most of it will drain out if you wait, in my experience. Bentley claims 1.5 remains in a Syncro tranny. Syncro tranny - 4.7 quarts, page 34.19 Early 4 speed 091 - 3.7 quarts, page 35.2 Diesel 4 speed 091 - 4.2 quarts, page 35.32 or 35.60 WBX 4 speed 091/1 - 3.2 quarts, page 35.32 or 35.60 5 speed 094 - 4.2 quarts, page 35.62 Mark Lawrence Johnson wrote: > > Max/Joyce Wellhouse wrote: > > > Dry tranny holds 7 litres so buy 4 quarts and save the leftovers. > > Interesting math but its right.
