Check with "ZFDOC" (or similar) on this forum about your tranny fluid. One of the guys in our local (Spokane) club drove to his state (?) for a 6-speed rebuild then reported on his experience. First Rate!
He also said to only put 2 bottles of fluid in - not 2.2 - because it gave a little room for expansion. That's second-hand information, not first-hand, but you should be able to find out here on the forum.
I'm getting ready to do mine now, and am going with the 2.0 advice.

The capacity is 2.2 QUARTS. The annoying part is that 1 litre = 1.05 quarts, hence, 2 litres is 2.1 quarts. argh.
And when it is filled, make sure the car is level. Otherwise, you might underfill it.
