total is around 2.75 quarts. if you think you over filled it, have the car on level ground and remove the top plug of the tranny. any extra amount will pour out. when it stops dripping, put the plug back in and your done.

Isn't it around 2.5x or something like that?

You want it where it just starts to come out of the fill plug on the passenger side of your t5.
