Filling Side fill tranny

Several months ago I bought a little marine lube pump from Walmart. I wanted to check tranny oil and fill if needed without putting on jacks.
Today I did. Pump fits in plastic oil bottle and you pump directly from it. Problem is oil bottle is too tall and pump outlet hose is to short. So I got a piece of hose that fit over end of pump outlet hose and extended it to the tranny fill hole and inserted it. Left oil bottle with pump next to car and started pumping untill oil started running out of hole. Put a catch can under drain plug as it runs down to there. Put some teflon tape on the plug and re installed it.

Got-R-Done!

I use that same pump. I just jacked up the car so the pump (and I) would fit under the car.

I use a suction gun, looks like a grease gun without the lever. Dip the hose in the bottle of oil and pull back the handle on the end, put the hose in the filler hole and push the handle in. It puts a pint in with one stroke, much faster than the bottle with a pump.

I found a pump at AutoZone that fits into a gallon oil jug. I bought some tubing to fit over the pump "spout" - stick the other end in the fill hole and pump-away. It works pretty well!

I have one in the garage that sounds about like that, plan to use it for the same thing. Good deal, now you are ready to go for a spin. Now if my gas tank were on I would be ready too.

I bought one that fits in a quart oil bottle. That way you can use it for the tranny, differential, shocks...

I just bought and used one last night. Apparently it's for filling outboard motor's lower half, and fits in a quart bottle.

It would have been nice, but each pump moved about 5-10ml of oil. A 4-synchro top-fill tranny takes 3 liters.

After what seemed like a million pumps, I noticed I wasn't even 1/3 of the way through a quart! So I found a piece of plastic tubing, and a funnel and let gravity do the work. My pumping arm was tired!

Nothing new under the sun about MGB's ROFLMAO

I purchased one of the ATF transmission fill gizmoes from Walmart. It screws onto a quart bottle, has a 3ft clear hose and a twist valve at the top. Leave to hose long put in just above the dizzy. Feed clear hose to fill hole. Open valve and let'er rip.

I do about the same as Clay, only I let gravity do the work. Nice long clear plastic hose and a funnel. And as Gil does, there is a catch pan beneath the tranny for the inevitable overflow. However, I have a hemostat I use to stop the flow in the tube once it starts to come back out the hole. Works too.

I have the same thing, it was orignally designed for filling outboard motor drives, I think. Invaluable.
