What is the fluid capacity of a 1996 Chevy truck manual transmission?

The fluid capacity for a 1996 Chevy truck's manual transmission depends entirely on which transmission it has. Chevrolet used several different manual transmissions in their trucks during that year. There's no single answer.

To find the correct capacity, you need to:

1. Identify the transmission type: This is usually stamped on a tag on the transmission itself. Common codes might include numbers like "SM465," "NV3500," or others. Your owner's manual (if you have it) will also list the transmission type.

2. Consult a repair manual: Once you know the transmission type, look up the fluid capacity in a repair manual specific to your truck's year, make, model, and transmission. These manuals are available online or at auto parts stores.

Without knowing the specific transmission, providing a fluid capacity is impossible and could lead to incorrect filling and damage to the transmission.
