Had service done on my '96 Disco, and I have found that my •••••• was WAY over full. How much fluid do you guys normally add to your •••••• after just pulling the drain plug. I obviously can't keep track of how much comes out and replace.......

Make sure when you check your transmission fluid..to have your Disco running. It should be checked when the car is on. If that's not it then I do not know but hope it helps.

about 5 quarts, unless you let it drain overnight, and then about 5-1/2 quarts

Is changing the transmission fluid as easy as changing the oil. do you just drain it and then add fluid? where exactly is the drain plug?

My workshop manual states that an auto box needs 19.2 pints, or 9.1 litres. If my memory serves me right, 19.2 pints is the equivalent 9.6 quarts.

I just drained my •••••• fluid and proceeded to fill it with synthetic ATF. At 8.5 quarts, it started to leak like crazy. After letting it spill the excess, I turned on the engine, checked the fluid and it was just a tad over the "max". When I do this again, I will stop at 6 quarts, then progressively add fluid in 8oz increments until the dipstick is right on the button.

FWIW, YMMV

Mine 95 Auto takes 3.5 qts after a "plug" drain. Try measuring the old oil in a paint can. Put that amount back and don not add more until hot and have shifted P, R, D several times and measure in P.
