For the differential yes, I think I confused the thread by mentioning the differential since this was a transmission thread, it didn't help I put out bad info either.

The manual is referring to the transmission fluid. Read through the posts again, but not the above one because that would be cheating

, then you might see what we were referring to.

Alright... I just changed the manual tran fluid and it took less than 2 qts. I did jack up the front a little. Did I do something wrong?

I just did mine this week and the transmission took in between 2 1/3 and 2 1/2 quarts. That is also in the range of what the specs. call for. Why yours did not take that much is a good question. I had my car jacked up on the pass. side. Maybe having it jacked from the front as you did makes the difference.

OK... I'll be the token A-L idiot of the week.

What I changed was the differential and not the transmission fluid. Wheewww... puzzled by the discrepancy so I looked up the manual and it was very clear I made the mistake.

jkurl confirmed as well. So I drained it again and flushed a little more Mobile1 gear oil thru. I then proceed to refill accordingly.
