Mine took 5 litres, but I didn't drop the pan, just used a Pelapump.

If you've got the time, I'd recommend dropping the pan & cleaning the filter. One point to watch is that the pan bolts are (as far as I recall) of varying lengths, so try to remove & refit in the correct sequence.

Anythnig from 4.5 to @7 litres, depending how much you get out really & what the level was before you started, I've done about 5 now & they all seem to come out a bit different. Blow through the cooler & pipework too to make sure it's all clear & functioning, not worth doing the job unless you're going to drop the pan & clean the filter IMO.
This may help -

Thanx for all the info guys just the sort of excellent responce I expected, isn't there a drain plug on the gearbox ? i don,t have a pela pump and don't really have the time tomorrow to take the pan off, Maybe i'll leave it until i do have the time to do it properly

no no drain just the pan removal and a shower of atf or a peller pump to draw it up the dip stick shaft

Remember to have the van in gear and chokked up/handbrake firmly on as you get a false reading when checking the level on refilling.

As been said,no drain plug & best to drop the pan, & IMO fit new gasket,available from Alacrity (Geoff)cost a fraction of ebay prices, about 18 bolts (if i remember right) refilling is via the dipstick tube~when checking level,have engine running & in neutral~~if you check level with engine off it will look as if it's overfilled.

Hi,
Re checking the fluid level with the engine running..........
Check the level in PARK. Advice from a transmission rebuilder.
Cheers.
