Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Duratec Performance 2.7 quarts or 2.0 for transmission?

I thought that my 99 SVT would take 2.7 quarts of transmission fluid, but the manual says 2.0 quarts. I plan to change out the old fluid and put in new sythetic this weekend. Obviously when I take the old out, I'll know pretty close to what it will take to put back in, but I was just curious if anyone knew the correct answer before I started.
Thanks,

mine was a little over 2.7 quarts.

If your manual sez 2 quarts, chances are you'll be putting in 2 quarts. Just measure how much drains out and you can't go wrong. FYI, mine drained out 2 quarts right on the dot.
