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$

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

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...

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.

It can drain and refill without making a mess, very useful for chaning the ATF in the Pick-up
