I wanna say it's 3.8 quarts. Not sure where I read that though (probably here), but it's been a while. And yes, you should pick up some Syncromesh trans fluid for it.

Not totally sure on the T56. I think they have the same style filler as the T5, where it's got a top and bottom plug on the side for filling and draining. Anytime I ever fill my T5, I just pop out the fill plug and pour fluid in from the shifter hole until it starts running out the side.

Sorry for jacking the thread but I have a question. I heard synchomesh is pretty good for manual trannies, and I know GM used it back when the camaros had t5's. I am using Mercon V but have heard alot of good things about synchromesh.
