Never in my history of googling "Toyota c60 LSD oil capacity" has 2.0qts popped up. That's more of what I'm getting atI've ALWAYS seen 2.2 & 2.0 qts referenced for a refill. The larger #'s are for a dry fill. The real problem here is ppl consistently fill the trans fluid wrong, document their incorrect method, then other ppl follow it without ever checking the correct way for themselves. FWIW using the correct method to fill removes any question of amount. The amounts quoted are useful only for considering how many quarts of fluid to buy before starting...they have nothing to do with filling. If you're significantly off from the quoted 2.2/2 qts its also an easy way to identify a larger problem.
Most importantly:
You fill using the fill plug, until it drips out of that plug...with the car flat & level. Put a little vinyl tubing on a funnel, the trans fluid goes down slow due to viscosity/tube size but it really isn't any more work once you're accessing the drain plug from below anyway IME...you should loosen the fill plug first regardless, then just stick the tube in there at the same time. 1 extra time sliding under the car to tighten the fill plug & you're done.

Hey guys,
New to the MR2 world. I have an 01 with the 2ZZ/C60 swap. As a habit I always change all the fluids in cars I buy. On mine I changed the transmission fluid and now I seem to be running into some issues.

- When in lift in 1st I press the clutch in to put it into second and it’s like the clutch doesn’t exist. RPMs fall as if I hadn’t pressed the clutch in at all. But it shifts normally through first and into second when not in the high RPMs.
- When down shifting into 4th (and rev matching) clutch fully depressed she ‘clunks’ into it. As if the clutch weren’t fully depressed it almost grinds however when upshifting into 4th there’s no unusual noises or feeling.
- Fearing I may not have put enough fluid in I opened the “speedo cap”(?) (pictured) the fluid was over flowing. For reference I scoured this site and found the recommended fill of ~2.4 qts. I also Used Valvoline Synchromesh MTF.
