Tranny capacity is between 8 and 9 quarts, I believe, but it's hard to get it all out. So you may only have to add 4 or 5. Oil capacity is 4 1/8 quarts (VG).

I don't think there are any fuel injectors in the tranny. I could be wrong though. :-/

we had a thread before that told me to not use D3 and use D4...because it had some kind of ash in the fluid...which caused slippage and eventually failure

I would go to the dealer and get the nissanmatic fliud or amsoil...They are both ashless fluids....

IMO it would be stupid to do all this work and then risk screwing the tranny up with dextronIII...
