there is no such engine for 1978 you either have L48 or L82.
you don.t its a manual
ATF -3 is the standard for most if not all Chryslers.
If your changing the transmission filter, it takes five quarts. If the transmission is completely empty, it takes about ten quarts to fill it up.
Regarding the A833 Manual Overdrive Transmission.....using Automatic Transmission Fluid as per Dodge's specs ( in a 1978 truck)....ate up the syncro rings in the transmission after about 50,000 miles and eventually seized. I believe this was a short-sighted attempt at increasing fuel efficiency ( lowering gearbox friction ). I have used SAE80 gear oil ever since in these gearboxes ( 1978 and 1889 trucks) with no further problems. Auto Transmission Fluid has no business in these gearboxes. That's a quote from the guy that had to rebuild my '78 gearbox.
