Tranny refill

[Lax]

Does anyone have any tricks to refill/top off a Deuce Tranny? Right now I am crawling underneath and trying my best to pour as much of it as I can on the ground with only a little actually in the filler hole on top. Thanks.

This is what I use-super easy.

A funnel with a hose attached to it through the master cylinder door works good.

I have a small 12 volt pump that was salvaged off a spray tank that was towed behind a vehicle.

I put 1/2 rubber tubing on both sides of the pump and suck the fluid out of the container and into the tranny or differential.

A lever style bucket pump is ideal..but a suction pump will work. They're basically a giant syringe with a flexible hose on the end. About $20 or so.

Thanks guys. That's helpful. The tranny leaks a a few drops per mile so now I have to figure out how much that is and how often to fill it. I may have a long trip tomorrow.

Are you over-filling it?

I need to get a good system of checking the level but I am 99% I have/am not over filling it. I am going to be driving about 16-18 hours in a relief effort for Sandy victims today and tonight from Upstate NY and I want to keep checking my fluids at every stop so I don't go from helper to vicim if my truck breaks down. My buddy usually checks the fluids for me so I need to learn how to check the tranny fluid on the go. Thanks.

I got this pump at Napa for $10. Works great in a one gallon bottle!

Do not fill up the trans to the fill hole, go one knuckle below the hole or it will leak.
