    Default Tip: Filling up Tranny with no dipstick.

    Hey guys,
    Just want to let you know a quick way to fill up your tranny when you service it. Using the standard 1 quart container that we get when we buy ATF or oil... take the cap off and drill a 1/2" hole in the middle... then get a 1/2" OD clear hose from Home Depot... cut to about 18" long... straight cut on the hose... no angle cut... it is worse with angle cut.

    Then insert 6" into the cap and you got 12" to feed the tranny. Put the cap back onto the container... and... you got yourself a squeeze bottle. Very fast to fill tranny with very little loss.

    Now, my only question is what the heck am I gonna do with 18.5' of 1/2" clear hose leftover? Hehehe

    18 feet long enough to reach your garage?

    well actually from here to the barn, including going through the window about 110 feet, I dont know how long your end of it would be though.
