Man, what a mess to fill both the tranny and diff, but I'm done. And won't make a mess next time as I know exactly how to do it now . Anyway, tranny took 2-1/3 quarts (calls for 1.8-qts), so I'm pretty sure it's completely filled. Differential calls for 1.3-qts, and took a little less than 1-1/2. Both drained hot and overnight, until absolutely nothing came out. Plus I inserted polypropylene shop towels to suck up the rest.

Will do another full brake and clutch bleed job now that tranny is exposed, front wheels off, and car lifted. It's a little less than a year since the last, but the hard part is already done, so might as well do it now . Will keep you posted on results, but the tranny looks promising, as RP fluid is visibly thinner when cold. But man, that Synchromax freaking STINKS!!! It's usually the differential fluid the offending one. Have a good one folks.
