Hand Pump For MT & Diff Filling???

[Gregg Thompson]

I searched for awhile and couldn't find any reccomendations on a simple hand pump I can use to fill my MT and Diff after I drain them. I am using Redline Quart sized bottles and I have to believe there is a pump that will screw onto them and pump thru a hose into the MT and Diff. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!!!

usually advance auto has them on the shelf near the gear oil. If you have to you can try a local marine /boating store and look for a "lower unit" hand pump. or worse come to worse, order the one from amsoil... its pricey if I remember correctly!

I use a rubber hose with funnel and fill from a higher ground, much cheaper and works great, except on my corolla it is the front differential (what are they thinking, separate diff fluid from Auto tranny for FWD

) and the filler is facing the rear, impossible to reach without jacking the car up.

Found a local mechanic that will do the labor for $15, problem solved.

What Boaz is talking about is one of these

I've substituted the hoses with longer ones to make things more convenient. Most hardware stores have the clear tubing that is the right size. Works good for a 3 qt ATF change thru the dipstick tube too. Cleans up with varsol solvent.

I actually ordered the Amsoil pump thinking all quart bottles are created equally but quickly found that I was wrong as the redline is a small neck. I still have it and I could always just buy a QT of fluid and dump it and use that bottle I guess. Pain in the arse...

walmart has one, autozone has one....

they will screw right onto most 5-quart (or 1gallon) jugs with a "normal" sized opening/threads.

while you're at walmart... go over to the fish-tank supply section and find some clear plastic tubing- should be able to get about a 6 foot length of tubing this fits snugly over the pumps exit side. (~3/8" inner diameter?)..

then you can push the end of the tube into your destination fill hole... sit back and pump away while drinkin a beer.

Be careful with the little nozzle ends that come on those lube pump tubes. I had one come off in my transmission last week, and was only able to retrieve it by the grace of God and a good pair of needle nose pliers.
