How to get new transmission oil in?

[chrisd]

I figured that I would just use a tiny funnel, but even the little one I had won't fit. Does anyone have any bright ideas? My next guess is to make a little funnel out of paper, and transfer the oil to a small bottle, and pour that in. But it looks like a pain no matter how I do it.

The easiest way is to pick up a fluid pump from the local auto parts store. I got mine for about $12, its a headache saver.

On my diff. I just used a pump (found at local parts store). It screwed on to the oil container and pumps the oil in through a tube.

You can get one of those pumps that screw into the gear oil bottles (as mentioned already) OR you can use a 4 ft piece of hose, large fuel line or small heater hose- whatever will fit in the hole....run the hose down thru the engine compartment, close to the firewall, and stick the end in the tranny- then use a funnel in the end of the hose and pour in the gear oil.
