I recently did the transmission kit conversion, but had to redo it due to faulty gasket and obviously most leaked out. New gasket put on and no leaks, only concern is don't know how many liters go in and the actual temperature to check fluid.. Anyone who's done this.. Please help

There is a procedure for filling the gearbox with the correct oil. You need to run engine until gearbox gets up to temperature (not totally sure what temp value). Once it does, add oil through the filler until overflow then put filler plug back in.


Found it - temp should be around 50 degrees

It sounds like you have resolved the "how much" problem, - that the answer is a temperature reading rather than a volume number.

The link below is to a number of files/pdfs specifically related to our ZF 6HP26 transmission. I note that one of the files has over 4,500 downloads and many have over a thousand, so some must find a bit of the info of value.
