Default How much oil does a tranny hold

How much does a tranny hold. I have about 1.5 quarts if synthetic motor oil in it. I was told the tranny can hold almost another quart.

i would not suggest synthetic motor oil. use honda MTF. its got the right additives for a transmission an engine oil wouldnt have. and sythetic actually doesnt work well with sycnhros, from what i heard.

either way, just use honda MTF.

Why instead of guessing do you not just go buy a bit more than needed, pull the overfull bolt out and top it up to exactly where it should be instead?
