After replacing the (3) small 'O' rings that surround the 3 shifting rods in the gearbox and re-assembly, went to fill the gearbox...it would only take about 16oz before spilling out of the fill hole. I thought it should take more...not sure how much, but more than it took. What have I done wrong...this time???

Bentley says 2 pints from dry non OD, 3 1/2 pints with A type OD and 2.66 with J type OD

you should be good to go
dont even ask what type of fluid to use or the thread will go ballistic!

:iagree:
It's not all that critical. However, depending on what you are using and how cold it is, it may be worth waiting a minute and seeing if it will take more. Especially since that is two Imperial pints (2.4 US pints).
