Hiya, what is the ATF capacity for one of these (used in a Mk2 Granada).
Cheers

if its dry capacity possibly. but if you are draining the box, it wont take too much as the torque convertor doesnt drain  also, earlier boxes don't use dexron II atf. they are a different type and is identified by the colour of the dipstick on the autobox ;D |

Thanks for the answers guys, so if the box now needed 2 litres of top-up fluid, how would that affect the seals after a prolonged amount of time of minimal use (years, not months). Drying out and possible cracking?
Cheers

you can get addatives for old autoboxes to soften the seals etc. I am not sure how good they are, I usually carry out a fluid change as a matter of course. I currently own a Jago Jeep fitted with a 1600cc crossflow engine which I converted to auto as I have gout in my left leg. I bought a C3 auto box which had been standing for 3 years for only £30. I changed the fluid and use it now quite regularly ( about 50 miles a week ) with no problems.
