How much tranny fluid?

I was wondering if anyone knew how much transmission fluid was needed to refill an A340F, from empty, on a 1995 4runner. Also does that fluid flow into the transfer case or is there a fill plug somewhere on the t-case. If I need to fill the t-case seperately, how much fluid does that take?

Thanks.

Do you have an FSM for your truck? Pretty sure there's a free one on TTORA for it. Doesn't directly answer your question...somebody else can probably do that but I always ask because it's all in there, along with a TON of other easy answers.

It depends what you mean by empty. Just the pan, pan + torque converter, pan + torque converter + cooler + lines?

Just the pan is somewhere around 4-5 liters, the pan + torque converter + cooler + lines is somewhere around 12-13 liters.

I didn't realize that the '95 4Runners had an A340F. I thought they had an A340H like the '93 4Runner I used to have.

With a A340F, the transfer case is seperate from the transmission, and it takes gear oil instead of ATF (the transfer case and transfer chain case on an A340H both take ATF. Again on the A340H, the transfer case would share fluid with the transmission, and the transfer chain case gets drained and filled via it's own plugs at the very rear of the transfer case). On your transfer case, you should find a fill and drain plug at the very rear.
