Additional Notes
- The Triumph Herald manual transmission capacity is 0.85 liter across all listed variants, spanning the Herald 948, Herald 1200, Herald 12/50, and Herald 13/60.
- A 0.85 liter figure represents a service fill capacity, meaning the amount of fluid required during a routine top-up or drain-and-refill procedure rather than a full overhaul rebuild quantity.
- The Herald 948 appears in two distinct power outputs for the 1959-1964 period, rated at 25 kW and 29 kW respectively, yet both share the identical 0.85 liter transmission capacity and the same check and change intervals.
- The manual transmission fluid check interval across all five variants is set at 10,000 km under normal use conditions, indicating a periodic inspection rather than a fluid replacement at that mileage point.
- The fluid change interval is specified at 20,000 km under normal use conditions, placing the drain-and-refill service at twice the distance of the check interval for every listed Herald variant.
- The Herald 1200 covers the widest production span among the listed variants, running from 1961-1970, yet carries the same 0.85 liter capacity and identical service intervals as the shorter-lived Herald 12/50 from 1964-1967.
- The Herald 13/60, introduced in 1967 and running through 1971, represents the latest production period among the listed variants and maintains the same 0.85 liter fill capacity and 20,000 km change interval established across the entire Herald range.
