Whats the trick to getting the tranny/differntial fluid in????????????????????? I just cant seem to get the fluid to pore in!!

 

you need a pump of some sort

 

get yourself a little pump that is powered by an electric drill. they come with a pair of hoses, both in and out, and will pump a litre of oil in like 10 seconds. well worth the 15$

-or a turkey baster...takes a while, though...I like the drill idea better...maybe do that next time

 

a pump, yeah. go look for an oil can somewhere, that'll do it...ya know, like in the wizard of oz

 

Or buy the correct tool for the Job. Costs a WHOOPING $4.99 at any advanced/checker/kragens/princess/napa/autozone/pep boys

I have never understood this forums fascination with trying to perform maintenance with a broken screwdriver and 1/2 pair of pliers. Then you come back bitching and whining it dont work

 

for the tranny couldnt you just take out the shifter and pour it in through the top?

 

1820 posts and you're asking that question? j/k...nope...

 

HMMMM, no: why?; because the shifter housing is completey seperate from the gearbox. The shift rod goes out of the shifter housing thru a seal along the top of the output shaft housing=> into another seal and the transmission housing

 

i knew it couldnt be that simple.

man should not read posts on car forum when he reading confucius, man get confused and ask stupid questions.

 

ha ha ha, confucius also say: man who stands on toilet gets high on pot!...tranny fluid replacement's actually pretty easy- just get a long enough hose to go in from the engine bay, near the brake booster...

 

Dude i really dident know how to do this im not trying to bitch in any way. I also went to autozone and they have nothing like what you mentioned. Ill have to check NAPA or some ****.
Thanks for the info guys.

 

I dont think its a fascination so much as 90% of us have no money to buy a non broken screwdriver ;D

 

I'll start selling them on my website then since people have such a hard time finding them

Banzai thats a lot more than 4.99
Should i try NAPA anyways?

 

I got an idea from Aaron Cake. He made a pressure pump.

I used a big Arizona Iced Tea plastic bottle.

Have one line go through the cap to the bottom(your feed line) Then rdill another hole and add another line. This one should not go to the bottom.

connect your valved(some type of on /off mechanism) air hose to the hose which doesn't go to the ground.

Fill up container with oil.

take hose that goes to the bottom and put it in the tranny fill hole.

Use the pressure valve connected to a compressor and pressurize the bottle.

The pressurized air will displace the oil by pushing it through the tube and into the tranny.

Make sure you don't over pressurize it or you run the risk of Kaboom!

I do this while watching my favorite TV show.
Takes maybe 10 minuntes and the only work required is squeezing the handle on the air hose every couple seconds to maintain pressure.

 

I got my pump type at advanced auto for 4.99

lets see:

Napa wants 5.69

 

I didnt show you the expensive way to do it. I bought one of these last year: THEY ROCK!!!
