    Here's the info you wanted out of my '99 FSM:

Front Diff (Model 194)(the only one listed)
    - 1.4 L (3.0 pts.)

Rear Diff: 8 1/4 2.1 L (4.4 pts.)
                9 1/4 2.3 L (4.8 pts.)

Transfer Case: fluid capacity the same for all cases
    - (NP231, NP231-HD, NP242)
    - 1.2 L (2.5 pts.)

Transmission: fluid capacity the same for all automatic trannies
    - (42RE, 44RE, 46RE)
    - 9.1 - 9.5 L (19 - 20 pts.)
        - NOTE: The FSM goes onto say that fluid levels vary depending on
            internal cooler, length/diameter of cooler lines, etc. Check
with
            someone with the same config. as you to be sure.
