3 3/4 qrts roughly. Where it was built doesn't change what fluid should be used although I would check with them to see what they recommend.

Buddy called Tremec yesterday. They recommended he run Mobile 1 synthetic in his TDP trans. I've ran Castrol and Pennzoil successfully in my TDP trans. I will be switching to Redline next.

Dextron III only. That is what Jason will tell you. Fill it thrugh the top where the shifter bolts on. Leave the top fill bolt out. When it starts coming out there you are done.

I am running cheap Valvoline ATF right now for break in on my built T56. I just got 4 quarts of Mobil 1 synthetic ATF and will be changing it soon.
