Additional Notes

  • The Pontiac Firebird (EU) manual transmission fluid specifications cover two distinct engine families across the 1992-1997 range: the 3.4-liter and the 5.7-liter Trans Am.
  • The 3.4-liter Firebird carries a manual transmission fluid capacity of 2.8 liters, applying equally to both the 1992-1993 and 1994-1995 model year groups under normal use conditions.
  • The 5.7-liter Trans Am holds a notably larger manual transmission fluid capacity of 3.8 liters, representing a full liter more than the 3.4-liter variant, across both the 1992-1993 and 1994-1997 groups under normal use conditions.
  • A capacity figure listed without a separate dry-fill value, as seen across all four rows here, is consistent with a service fill specification rather than an overhaul or initial-build quantity.
  • All four configurations share an identical service interval of 12,500 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, under normal use conditions.
  • The 12-month time limit paired with the 12,500 km distance interval means that low-mileage operation still triggers a fluid check on an annual basis under normal use.
  • The 5.7-liter Trans Am specification extends from 1994 through 1997, covering a broader model year span than the 3.4-liter entries, which conclude at 1995.
