Be gentle, but tech thread of the day: Transmission draining and filling...

[302]

When i drained and filled the transmission on my old car i just used a hose attached to the cap and squeezed the hell out of it.

Does vatozone have something sort of like this:

I can pick up, or will i have to "engineer" something like this?


I'm going to be replacing this QDC fluid with redline mtl probably...

They should, its just a cheap hand pump. You could also try a Harbor Freight if you have one nearby.

Yea, thats what i have in mind. I did not think of harbor freight. But thanks, atleast i know they have something sort of what i need. Hopefully i wont have to ask anyone i can just run in and get it and get out.

you can dump it in a squirt bottle with a piece of hose, pull the shift boot and fill it from the top if you have someone underneath to hold the tube. Or get a cheap hand pump. I had no help so I just bought a $10 pump. Use the bent wire tie trick to check the level. 1/2" below the fill opening IIRC.

Any place that sell boat stuff, Gander mountain, overtons, west marine, bass pro shops, and sometimes even wal mart will have those pumps if you cant find them in the auto parts stores. I have a few of them laying around, they are used for filling the drives in boats.
