How many quarts does it normally take to fill up a t45 trans?

GTblackprodigy · February 29th, 2008, 02:51 PM

WilltheThrill · February 29th, 2008, 02:59 PM

not sure its different but i just changed the fluid in my 3650 n it took 4 quarts.

Haynes Repair Manual says 6.6 pints (2pints=quart) so about 3 and a half quarts (just buy the four quart bottle)

I have a t45 and just changed the tranny fluid about a month ago

KingChronic · February 29th, 2008, 03:03 PM

think its a little over 4.

mystang0673 · February 29th, 2008, 03:03 PM

what kind?

'00blk2v · February 29th, 2008, 04:21 PM

I used Mercon automatic transmission fluid. Had a little left over in the 4 qt bottle. My brother-in-law questioned using automatic transmission fluid in a manual, but that's what the Hayne's and original car manual had written.

(It also states Mercon V fluid is not interchangeable with regular Mercon fluid)

Jesus does anyone know anything before they respond.... One guy is right! It's 3.5 quarts for all t45 manual trans. And it's auto merc 3

1badcob · April 17th, 2011, 12:17 PM

My bad. A few guys were right. Sorry guys

take out the fill plug
take off the shifter.
pour the fluid in through the shifter.
when it starts comming out of the fill hole it is full.
should be about 3.5 quarts

Ding!ding! Ding! The right way to do it. Do not over fill trans so people just spitting numbers shame on you.

How about a cookie?

I did my clutch a couple of weekends ago, it took just under 3 1/2 quarts to fill it back up.

thats more like the long way to do it...ten times easier to just use a pump through the fill plug

Smartoss · April 18th, 2011, 12:39 AM

I used 3.3 quarts of Amsoil synthetic ATF

jonnyspeed · April 18th, 2011, 12:58 AM

Is amsoil the best option? Do we need friction additives or is that only for rear end?
