To find the correct capacity, you must identify the specific transmission in your car. Look for a tag on the transmission itself (often on the side) or consult your owner's manual if you have one. Common possibilities include:
* TH350 (Turbo Hydra-matic 350): This was a very common automatic.
* TH400 (Turbo Hydra-matic 400): Another common automatic, usually found in higher-performance models.
* Powerglide: An older, simpler two-speed automatic.
* Manual transmissions: Several different manual transmissions were available, each with a different capacity.
Once you identify the transmission, you can find the correct fluid capacity in a repair manual specific to your year and model Nova, or online resources such as a Haynes or Chilton manual, or even a reputable online automotive parts website. Simply searching "[Your Transmission Type] fluid capacity" will likely yield the answer.
