Greg, I've found that as long as the driveshaft is not in the yoke, that particular tranny will take as much oil as you can throw at it. I know I got at least 6 in there without the driveshaft in before I slipped and fell on the ground. Hmmm..... :JEKYLHYDE

Good chance if you only got 2 in, there was still 1 in there in the nooks and crannies.

Oh heck, I have no idea. I am pretty sure, though, that I put 3 in mine...but that was the first fill.

Greg,

I recently filled my 3550. It took about 2 3/4 qts. This was a new transmission.

Mine was close to 3 quarts from a dry fill.

Just did mine Saturday. Took 2 3/4 qts of GM Synchromesh. Paid $11.00 / qt with a 10% discount!

I was doing a fulid change not a dry fill so im guessing 2 Qt was about right.
