Ok, now I'm really confused on how much fluid to put into my Mk1 4 speed!

The workshop manual says (page B12.25): "...then fill the gearbox with 3.5 Imp. pints (4.2 U.S. pts., 1.99 litres) of an approved lubricant..."

If I just pump fluid in until it reaches the bottom of the fill plug the transmission will take about 5 U.S. pints. Since I had 3 quarts of Royal Purple MTL I used this approach. WRONG - now my clutch releases very slooowwwllllyyy.

So the question is: how much should I now drain from the transmission?

Thanks in advance for any insight.
