Transmission and front diff
I was told to remember to fill the front diff when installing 5 speed my tranny but couldn't find where, i was wondering if filling the transmission would just overflow into the front diff, or is there two compartments?

I assume you mean an AT, in which case the two are not connected. The front diff takes ~GL-5, while the transmission takes ATF. If it's an MT, the diff and the gearbox share the same fluid and there is only one dipstick.

What is the oil capacity then for the front diff and trans since it is the same compartment in a MT? Use any GL-5 75W-90 Oil?
Thank you!!
Yeah, filling the rear diff. is rather crude. You basically just drain it, then plug up the drain hole and pump the 'fill' hole with gear oil until it begins to spill out.
