The Haynes sez 3.25 pints is the capacity for TR4 gearbox plus OD and a
drain & refill is 2.75 pints. I do not have an OD so I do not have
direct experience here, but I recall the non-od capacity of 1.5 pints
was referring to Imperial Pints (about 1.8 US). So be sure whatever
reference you use you know whose pints are being mentioned.
I had previously asked if anyone used a tube & funnel to fill the
gearbox from the engine compartment but all responses mention using
pumps. Nevertheless I tried filling from above and found it to be quite
convenient. I used a 30" length of clear vinyl tubing (1/2" OD, 3/8"
ID) putting the funnel just above the fuel pump (if you look just right
and have a light under the car you can see the drain plug from the
engine compartment).
