EDIT: Title should be... Is 1 quart oil sufficient vs. 38 oz. in the 6 spd. Primary case
Service manual states 38 ounce capacity in the 6 speed primary case on a 103, will 1 quart/32 oz's be ok?

Yes, buy 2 bottles the first time...the 2nd bottle will augment further changes through the years
the capacity needs to be checked as per the manual- the procedure has changed a bit year to year.
the fluid in the primary is fairly crucial to clutch engagement, feel and longevity.
not all fluids are compatible- and the clutch disks are soaked with the old fluid, so I do not suggest changing brands unless doing a complete change with new clutch disks.
a typical fluid drain will retain about 5 or 6 OZ in the clutch

OK, since the 96 & 103's are the same engines/transmissions except for a bigger bore, why would my 96 call for one quart and a 103 calls for 38 ounces.....I've been dumping one quart in mine and calling it a day since 2009.
DUH, I thought we were talking transmissions, fingers moved before brain........Yes, a little over a quart in the primary......

as with most lubricants, too much can cause foaming, which does not lubricate as well, and and may cause parasitic drag.
too little is...too little

38 oz -wet
45 oz -dry
so, once drained it's considered dry?
