a full empty auto tranny takes 9 quarts , thats what it took when I rebuilt mine but it depends on how long you let it drain or if you use a pump to change the fluid out

a DRAINED AND REFILL is between 3-4 quarts.


^i dont see how a 'full empty auto tranny' will need 9 quarts. if your referring to a flush, then yeah.
