What is the transmission fluid capacity for a 1988 Chevy S10 Manual Transmission?

The transmission fluid capacity for a 1988 Chevy S10 with a manual transmission isn't a single number because it depends on the specific transmission installed. GM used several different manual transmissions in the S10 during that year. There's no way to know for sure without knowing the exact transmission code (usually found on a tag on the transmission itself).

To find the correct capacity, you need to:

1. Identify your transmission: Look for a tag on the transmission case. This tag will have a code that identifies the specific transmission.

2. Consult a repair manual: Once you have the transmission code, consult a repair manual specific to your 1988 Chevy S10. A Haynes or Chilton manual will list the fluid capacity for each transmission type.

3. Check your owner's manual (if you have it): Your owner's manual *might* list the capacity, but often it's only a general range or doesn't specify for each transmission option.

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