It takes just slightly more than 2 quarts to completely drain and refill.

I have the clutch disk here and I'm trying to make sure it's the correct disk before I do the tear down in the morning it's a SECO SDHO-211 part number for the disk. I can't find a part number relating to anything for this disk online.

all ya gotta do is count the splines (teeth) and confirm it with a part store. i know ur just helping someone but i strongly suggest getting the kit and not just replacing just the disc, also inspect the flywheel really good for heat spots, cracks, rings and replace if needed,

And here I am, I absolutely do not remember it being that hard to stab a honda trans back into the engine. At any rate here is what I found, I thought it would be the clutch material worn to the rivets, but I found something entirely different and have no idea how something like this happens to a clutch. The bent piece around the spring was gouging into the flywheel bolts as the clutch engaged. If left it would have been a lot worse, but I hope I never have to take the flywheel off of the car because I doubt that I could with the gouging that occurred.

That kind of damage is fairly common, or the springs break entirely and jam up the whole thing. The friction material on the disk is pretty badly worn anyway.
