manual transmission and differential fluid capacity question
Hi, looking to change my transmission oil and differential oil at the same time.. on ALLDATA, it says
Manual Transmission Gear Oil Capacity 3.5 Liter (3.7 US qt, 3.1 Imp qt)
Note: Total fluid capacity for the Manual Transmission with front differential and Transfer Case (center differential) is the same capacity for entire unit.
I was confused whether I put 3.7 quarts in the transfer case and I'm done with it? Or do I have to put .8 quarts in the rear diff and the rest in the trans case? Does anyone know the exact fluid capacity for both the transmission and rear diff separately? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Yeah last time I did it, I did it separately.. I remember putting little less than a quart until it dripped out the top drain plug.. but don't know how much I put for the transmission.. since I put .8 in the rear diff, I put 3 quarts in the transmission? Kinda confused

rear diff you go until it leaks out. <1 qt
Front tranny / diff has a dipstick. <4 qts
so you start with 5 qts and have left over or you start with 4 qts and don't fill the tranny all the way full.

Last time I put 3.2 in the trans and .8 or so in the rear diff, I think the transmission was underfilled but the dipstick readings were slightly below normal
