25-26 pints of Transmission Fluid Check level with engine running and oil warm. the dry capacity is 7 quarts in the transmission itself. a truck tranny pan can and filter can be added to any car, and it adds an additional 2 quarts. the converter, varies by engine. convertor diameter vs capacity ( quarts ) 10" = 3 quarts 11" = 3.5 quarts 12" = 4 quarts 13" = 5 quarts

Regarding the A833 Manual Overdrive Transmission.....using Automatic Transmission Fluid as per Dodge's specs ( in a 1978 truck)....ate up the syncro rings in the transmission after about 50,000 miles and eventually seized. I believe this was a short-sighted attempt at increasing fuel efficiency ( lowering gearbox friction ). I have used SAE80 gear oil ever since in these gearboxes ( 1978 and 1889 trucks) with no further problems. Auto Transmission Fluid has no business in these gearboxes. That's a quote from the guy that had to rebuild my '78 gearbox.
