Thanks!

BTW, did you fill it from the shifter or did you use the fill hole on the side?

My mechanic used the fill hole and it only took two quarts.

Thanks again,

Scott

I filled from the shifter area. But I took the fill plug out the side and poured. I belive it took around 3'ish to fill to that hole though.

Also, it may have never drained ALL the fluid out when it was pulled. I think the 3.5 is from a fresh rebuild or install.

I just rebuilt my WC T-5 and it takes exatly 3 quarts to be up to the fill plug. You can pour it in either through the shifter or the side plug.
