Tranny Fluid Capacity

4 speed manual on the 620. Book says 3.4 pints. Is this correct??? Last time I filled it until it ran out the filler hole. No wonder I had fluid coming out everywhere. -K

You had fluid coming out everywhere because your seals are bad. Replace them then fill up to the threads in the filler plug.

Thanks MM. Fixed seals but truck is up in front on jacks to get to filler plug. That's why I was wondering if 3.4 pints was correct. Truck up in front makes oil run to back of tranny and filling it to hole threads will be too much. Also there looks like a lot more space than 3.4 pints in the bottom of the pan to the hole, but I guess the gears could be occupying some of the space. -K

2 liters sounds right (3.5 us pints). Stick it in, leave plug out and lower truck. If it spills out, (into suitable catch container) you're good to go, jack up and install plug. If not jack up and add more until it does.

make sure the truck is level, you said you had it up on front jacks only? put a level on your bed rail and jack it up on both ends to get clearance for you underneath and to make sure its level. ;)
