just fill the trany threw the shifter..

Incorrect Info. The shifter housing is a seperate housing. The shifter rod exits the housing thru a bushing and then into the transmission case. YOU CANNOT FILL THE TRANNY THRU THE SHIFTER HOUSING!

Yup, can't fill it through the shifter, Just use a funnel and a hose that fits in the filler hole, it can be a one man job, just run the hose through the drivers side of the engin bay and hang the funnel off the hood using a coat hanger. Works good if you warm the fluid up a litte too.

Yeah, below 30 F, so the fluid did not want to move. I used a hand pump with the rubber bulb, but once compressed it did not want to expand again with the cold and the oil and such. I eventually found a Mug Root Beer bottle, drilled a hole in the top for the long hose, and a hole in the side for the air fitting. I set the compressor at about 18 psi, and the oil flowed in. I didn't think of this idea, but I did have to figure out how to use several air fittings to make it work right.

I would put the bottles in really warm buckets of water.

or get the pump tool made for the job, its like $5-$10 and will save you form being macgvyer next time, its a handy tool. some handy bottles come with it already attached.



kevin.

Could you describe this handy tool? Like I said, I tried the one that's a rubber bulb that you squeeze, with a tube in each end. That didn't work out well at all.

Ahh, that looks nice. I didn't see anything like that at Pep Boys or Advance Auto Parts.



I was also thinking of getting a large diameter pvc pipe and drilling/tapping a hole for an air fitting, and sealing a tube with a barb fitting all in the top, so I could use the air compressor to push fluid in.

how about a pepsi bottle?



or a sprite bottle?



think they would give the same results?
