SM465 Fluid Capacity????

[OkieFishMan]

Does anyone know the fluid capacity of the SM465 tranny????

I think it's 4 quarts or slightly over. Definitely less than 5, but I think less than 4.5 too. It's a little PITA to do on these too... at least refilling.

Pretty sure you just wanna fill it up until it runs out of the fill hole.

Is the 465 the one that you need to be carefull to get the actual fill plug, because there's a threaded cap holding a cross shaft or something in? Or am I thinking of a different trans?

No, I fill them through the shifter hole until it runs out the check hole, takes about 4 quarts usually.

I know they can be filled through the top, I can't recall what trans I'm thinking of that had a threaded plug, that held something in place that looked like a fill plug. It may have been a jeep trans, now that I think of it more.

I believe close to 4 quarts. I fill through the check hole in the side.
