Seen that made no sense to me.
3 litres . 4.2 Litres.

People saying turbo takes more others saying takes less.

Oil

Perhaps you should check the square bush for wear and if so rotate it 90 degrees for fresh metal assuming no one has done this before, the bush is at the far end of the gear change cables linkage to box area, might help with your second gear notch! if not a fix then change the gear oil. The LSD takes space away from the tubby gearbox so 3+ litres whereas N/A MR2's require 4+ litres. Does this make sense? my thoughts.

Yeah Cosmos, i thought to myself how can people say the lsd box hold's more.

As for the square thing i'm unaware and unsure which bit it is , i fitted solid shifter bushes already, i'll take a look.
