transmission / gearbox fluid capacity?

I know to use ATF fluid, and it's slightly less than X quarts. Is X = 2, 4, or 6? I used to know this. Dang mad cow disease!

Iirc it's 2.8 Qts on an empty (dry) box such as after a rebuild, slightly less on a drain and fill - 2.5-2.6 Qts. So get 3 qts and you'll have a wee bit left over to take up space on the shelf.
