ZF DS25 Oil capacity

The manual for the old relic says 2,0l (3,5 pints)
The last reference you list shows pints - that is wrong. It is somewhere around 3.0 - 3.5 QUARTS of gear oil. Running in the Pantera configuration it uses 3.5 quarts.
Use a quality GL4 / GL5 NON synthetic gear oil such as Castrol 80W90.

Here is a thread from my Pantera brothers which gets debated about every 2 years. I use Castrol 80W90 which is what Roy Butfoy told me 34 years ago and never have had a problem. NON synthetic. They drip as they are. Synthetic will cause a lot of leaks.
Somewhere between 3 to 4 QUARTS. That post you made about the dipstick from a zip tie is one of Lloyd Butfoy's pieces of info.
Here is a list of Conventional (mineral based)::
Castrol 80W90 (Note it is now GL-5) which is fine
PennGrade Classic GL-4, 80W-90
Driven Racing Oils, GL-4, 80W-90
Richmond Gear, GL-4, 80W-90
VP Racing Classic, GL-4, 80W-90
Liqui Moly Gear Oil, GL-4, 85W-90

the thread
What is the best ZF transmission oil to use in a 1974 Pantera?
I recently replaced the clutch and pressure plate (from PI Motorsports) and have done my best to adjust everything according to the various posts and readjusted over and over. It just seems like the clutch doesn't disengage far enough, even with the pedal to the floor. Maybe I need a long throw...
