Default How much fluid does the trans and diff hold?

Im getting some RP fluid for my 99 coupe. Just wanted to know how much the 6-speed transmission and rear diff hold. Thanks for the help.

If you check over in the CF Tech section you will probably either find this info or someone will help you very quickly. Good luck!

You'll want to double check on the capacities, but as I remember, the tranny takes 3.6 qts, and the diff 1.8. Just remember to use ATF in the tranny, and a good gear oil designed for limited slip applications in the diff. If you have a 2000 or earlier, synthetic ATF is not recommended as the older trannies use paper backers on the synchros that don't last long with synthetic fluid.
