Finished a transmission flush on my 2nd gen Tacoma. This made filling the transmission effortless. Thank you sir!

Just started as a service tech, and was seeing very similar devices for hundreds on Amazon. This is exactly what I need for transmission and differential services. They only come in about once a week, so this is perfect. If it breaks, I can get 15 more for the price of one that will also probably break. Thank you!

@betovallejo OH man. 😂😂 yah I dont use these anymore because it's not fast enough. I use one that's designed for transmission service but is basically the same thing just beefed up. Runs off of shop air (with no air dryer.. oh boy...) or you can pump it manually. How else are you going to fill a side will? Not with a funnel 🤭 I've done dozens by this point, including my own, a 300k mi Camry, never had an issue. I've never had a single come back let alone someone's transmission being completely destroyed from water 😂😂😂 You would have to really, intentionally put some water in there. You do realize that transmissions are vented & accumulate condensation moisture inside them just like engines do? Except when everything gets up to temp, any water in there will just boil out & come out the vent tube, as it's made to do. If someone doesn't like how things actually happen in the real world, they can save themselves the money and do it "the right way" in their own garage. Most people wouldn't even know where to begin let alone do it right. "My days as a service tech are over" If thats the case, better fire the whole line.😂😂😂😂 I have seen people do alot worse than mess up a transmission & still have job. Good service managers understand shit happens, no one perfect.

Thank you ! You just gave me an idea to refill the ATF of my lexus rx350 after draining it, just pump the new AFT into the pan from the bottem, through its filling level calibrating drain hole, with a some kind of rubber fitting for the hose.

The Walmart 1 gallon sprayer is now a bit over $6, but works just as well. I just unscrewed the end tip and pulled the white nozzle out of the end and used as is. Worked perfectly. Thank you.

Thanks again, I have been using a finger pump with a rurber hose. Very good for differentials also.

Worked for transmission fluid change. Awesome. Did not make a mess like last time.

Great idea. I just snipped the tip off the plastic wand and inserted a thick enough wire inside to keep it from closing under heat. Hit it with a blowtorch and molded it into a U-Shape. For an 8L90 or filler on top it worked great. Hooked it in the port hands free, locked the trigger and pumped away. Nice work.

THANK YOU!! AWESOME SIMPLE IDEA!! Got two of them one for the differential oil and one for the transmission fluid!! Worked great! Cleaner than hoses and funnels, etc, MESSY!

Thanks for the reply... I picked up a new transfer pump from Auto Zone about $10.00 plus tax. It had heavy clear tubing with a lock mechanism like the newer plumbing quick connects. I Looked around my garage and found an old sink with a small filtered water spout. It had the perfect angle and size for the fill. I modified the hose with a small - thicker piece of hose from a washer and used a couple tie wraps so it wouldn't slip out. I drilled a hole in the top of one of the quart caps using a 5/8" wood drill bit. From my experience when drilling out plastic, put your drill in reverse use a wood bit with the point in the center. I put a 3/8" grommet in the cap on the suction end of the clear tube in case the bottle tipped. I used one of the A.T.F. fluid quart cap to be used and cleaned everything well. Placed another grommet and tie wrap for length to the bottom of quart bottle. I reused this cap on all quarts. This tool will be used only for Transmission fluid in the future. No mess and worked like a charm. Wish I knew how to upload a photo but the B.M.W. ("Bring Me Work") is keeping me busy. Good luck to you and hope this may help you or someone in the future.

Yeah that's really handy for your differentials as well they got the gear lube in the bags and stuff like that you can fill them back up and stuff but it's still kind of messy I think I like your idea a lot better

I have that same aggravating cheap pump. It leaks all over you even if you get the bottle of transmission fluid to stand up. It is junk. Thanks, I will go try the pump you show sounds great.

Good clear thinking. Well done!

Thank you bro. For this idea. It was the best

Walmart, as usual, has changed brands and the price in 2021 is now almost $8. I will certainly get a couple, too. I will probably use one to put antifreeze in my 1991 motor home as the radiator neck only has about two inches clearance above it. I already have a pump on a 5 gallon bucket of diff gear oil for my Dodge 4 x 4. You could use this to put it down the dipstick tube as it would be less messy than a funnel.

Actually, a quart of the Toyota ATF WS is $10 at the dealer but good idea using that pumper...I may have to try that! (Could be useful for differentials, especially the front one that's hard to get to.)

For the money, this is pretty much the best solution for dealing with a situation that shouldn't exist. That situation being OEMs leaving the dipstick/fill tube off of auto transmissions for the last 20 years or so in the name of this "sealed for life" BS they've gotten away with.

No doubt this is an great solutiion. If you are in a pinch, and do not have a pump sprayer available, one can use an air compressor with very LOW PRESSURE (like 5lbs) by drilling 2 holes into the top of a container. Drill one hole so you can fit your air nozzle over the top forming a seal. and drill a second hole in the cap for your feed tubing. Assemble an apply VERY LOW AIR PRESSURED. The air will force the liquid throught the tubing. This worked great when I changed my diff fluid.. Your set up is better you only need one hand to transfer the fluid.

This is a great idea! My commuter car has 250,000 miles on it. It runs good but burns about 1 quart of oil every two weeks. I am going to make one of these and put motor oil in it to keep from spilling oil when topping it off weekly. I wonder how it would perform using the heavier 90 weight oil that goes in a differential. This would make that task MUCH easier to refill the diff.

Those cheap garden pumps work well i have been using them on Toyota. I have been buying a lot of Toyota WS fluid. i need to consider what you say about Max life. I agree those orange hand pumps are no good.

Can you use the same sprayer to pump red line 75/85 synthetic weight rear end differential fluid?

Excellent....now the video even more people want is how to create an inexpensive suction pump to extract engine oil, etc. out of engines. Most of the quality fluid suction pumps that drain into a container are close to $100. Shouldn't be that pricey, just reverse the process. Just an idea for the project I'm working on now.

Pick up the larger 2-gallon sprayer, add in the shraeder valve, hook up the air compressor with a pressure regulator set to like 20 pounds (will need locking chuck), should work. You'll still need to stop to refill once, but better than stopping 4 times with the smaller sprayer.

Put the o-ring on and when you tighten the nut it squeezes the o-ring tight around the tube.

Toyota transmission burns up after 30k? My 2011 Toyota Highlander nearing 150,000 has over 75,000 between changes and it runs great. I was warned not to give full fluid change because it might cause trans to slip. Some Toyotas trams are now sealed, no dip stick.

Late to the party here, however: I'm certain you understand the old standard of 100K mi trans fluid change intervals of the distant past. Modern vehicles are using far more "variable" gear shifting to meet CAFE standards. Most manufacturers have anywhere between 35-45K mi Trans fluid intervals so that the "customer" has a much longer life of that component - which is more expensive than any other major component of a vehicle. Just stick to the manufacturers suggested intervals, they have the engineering backing for it.
