Rob, the MUG bottles have a slippier coefficient of slipericity which provides superior fluid transfer cabapility. 9 out of 10 aborigini's agree!
I think the root beer bottles are made to handle more pressure, rootbear is a very fizzy soda.
I bet a seltzer bottle would have done the job faster

how about a pepsi bottle?
or a sprite bottle?
think they would give the same results?
Plus Pepsi is just nasty.

did you drink root beer before or after?

a few years ago i was helping do a clutch job, we had the same problem, could only get within an inch, re-centered the clutch a few times
turned out the first time we were lining up the tranny, it caught the bottom of a heatshild near the shifter housing, and was actualy just getting caught there
so many hours wasted..

I think when the dude said something about fill thru the shifter was refering to ... the way I fill mine. I shoot a tube w/funnel attached from inside the car thru the shifter hole/access down to the fill hole .... more direct than from engine bay ... if cut to the proper length the funnel is suported by side of tranny n tunnel ... easier for me than pumpin n tryin not to tip over qt bottle n pull tube out ... just my 2 cents as long as it gets in there ...

your a ****** for using a root beer bottle, use a welch's grape soda bottle. in the future, stick the driveshaft in the back if the tranny and spin the drive shaft until the input shaft slips in. you are weak, i just bench the mother ****** up in there spin the driveshaft and "click" it slips in, its worked 5 times (many clutch changes)
