Additional Notes

  • The TVR Tuscan Speed 6 Mk1 manual transmission holds 1.4 liters of fluid across all listed configurations, from the 3.6-liter variant through to the 4.0 S variants producing either 291 kW or 298 kW.
  • A 1.4-liter capacity is a relatively modest fill volume, consistent with the compact gearbox units typically found in lightweight British sports cars of the era.
  • The check interval for manual transmission fluid is set at 20,000 km under normal use conditions for every configuration listed, including the 3.6 (261 kW) and 4.0 (261 kW) variants covering 1999-2005.
  • The 4.0 Red Rose (283 kW), spanning 1999-2002, shares the same 1.4-liter capacity and 20,000 km check interval as the standard 4.0 variant, despite producing notably more power.
  • The two 4.0 S variants from 2003-2005, rated at 291 kW and 298 kW respectively, carry identical transmission fluid specifications to one another, with no differentiation in capacity or service interval between the two power outputs.
  • All five configurations are specified under normal use conditions, meaning the 20,000 km check interval applies to standard operating circumstances rather than a reduced severe-use schedule.
  • The uniformity of the 1.4-liter fill volume across engine displacements ranging from 3.6 to 4.0 liters suggests the same gearbox unit was carried over throughout the Mk1 production run.
