Answer
Mark,

It takes about four quarts to change the fluid.  Remember that the fluid in the torque converter cannot be drained so you are only draining the fluid from the pan.  I would first put in three and a half and then start the car and while it is not moving run the shifter through the gears and then back to park.  With the engine running pull the transmission dipstick and check the level and add until it is at the full line.  Do this on a level surface so you get an accurate reading.
