What are the fluids that need to be replaced? (Manual)

I want to do a full flush of the fluids.
Diff fluid - 2L
Brake fluid - 1L
Power steering fluid - ???L (DEXIII)
What fluids does the manual transmission use?

Is this it?

bleed out the clutch and brake fluid (seperate systems) 1.5 to 2l brake fluid to do a good job of it

Engine oil x5 litres

Transmission oil x roughly 4 litres, i used castrol syntrans full synthetic oil, roughly 25 a litre, but cost me 10 a litre through my work :-)

Diff oil x1.5 litres, i used castrol syntrax full synthetic oil, good stuff :-)

Power steering fluid which is dextron III, remove the rreservoir return line and flush out the old oil, while pumping new stuff in while moving the wheels lock to lock. About 3 litres to do a good job (can be messy LOL)

Radiator coolant and inhibitor

So yeah, thats about it, i did all this about 6 months back

Radiator coolant and oil have been done.

I need a diff oil for a Torsen LSD.
3L of Dex 3 I should have already.

torsens dont run a hypoid/LSD oil as they dont rely on friction for the locking action.

Your general diff oil or full synthetic oil is a good start :-)

Also how many litres to change the manual r154 trans fluid, and how easy is it to do?

piss easy mate, remove the fill 24mm bolt and then remove the drain 24mm bolt, replace drain plug, fill with new oil and refit fill bolt.

U fill until fluid starts to flow out of the fill hole. I think its 3 to 4 litres, cant really remember i just pumped away until i had the correct level
