Isn't it Dexron II, and 4.5ltrs? It is according to the sticky in general servicing, and also the writing on my dipstick (well, my trucks dipstick - quiet in the cheap seats!).

Don't think you can get dextron 2 now.......but i may be wrong and he needs to fill the autobox and torque converter

Certainly can get Dexron II, I bought a litre of the stuff from my local Part Co last week.

S'ok. I'm no expert on these fluids, so I'm always wary of mixing/substituting (like Dot3/Dot4 for brake fluid) away from the manufacturers spec. I know that a lot of fluids are 'backwards compatible', so if that's the case with Dexron, then Dexron III should be fine in place of the Dexron II.

Cheers fellas.

I don't know exactly how much I lost on the road, but decided to drain the remaining atf from the box/sump and change the lot.

What would you guys recommend as the procedure for filling/running/testing when I get the box back in?

I see you top it up from the dipstick tube . . . how pants is that!

[Slugsie]

Dunno if this is recommended, but this is what my simple mind worked out.

Put in fluid, roughly 1 litre at a time. Give it a couple minutes to settle between each litre, and check the dipstick. Around 4 litres it should be registering in the middle on the dipstick. Now, with the transfer lever (the stubby gear stick) in neutral, start the engine, and put it in gear. Run it for a minute. Re-check the dipstick, and repeat. Take it out for a test spin, drive slowly, but give it a chance to warm up properly. Re-check, etc etc.
