Tranny fluid change

[blkmazda90]

Last night i finally decided to replace the gear oil in my tranny with ATF (the correct fluid)

I got so pissed off trying to squeeze the bottle between the body, frame, driveshaft and whatever else was fucking me up and the fill hole.

tried putting hose on and squeezing it up but it slipped off and soaked me with ATF

So i finally said **** it and tore apart shifter and poured in through there until it came out fill hole.

ANYWAYS..How do you guys put fluid in your tannys and is there an EASY way??

truck has M50D-R1

I drilled a hole in my floor, propped a funnel in the steering wheel and used a piece of hose the first time. after I was done i just filled the hole with clear caulking.

The second time i had the shift boot and cover off already....

You can buy cheap fluid transfer hand pumps for this. They work great on differentials and the transfer case as well.

A Sta-Lube hand pump should be under $10. I use it for everything (even for sucking the fluid OUT of the front diff fill hole because it doesn't have a drain plug)

I fill mine through the shifter as well, allows me to add an extra 1/2-3/4 quart.
