Well, if your 5-speed is like my 4-speed in my 1999, it'll drain about 3 quarts out. You probably want to use a clean drain pan, and immediately transfer what comes out to a gallon jug so you can get a good estimate on how much to put back in.
You need to do the drain/refill 3-4 times (at 3 quarts per) to get mostly fresh fluid in there. Less than 3, and you've still got mostly old fluid, more than 4, and you're just throwing money away.
Don't forget a good 10-20 mile drive between drain/refill cycles, manually shifting through all the gears at some point...
How many miles since the flush at the end of the CPO? If it's not terribly many, and the fluid is still bright and pink on the dipstick, just do one drain & fill to "freshen" the fluid.
