... just changed the trans oil last night and here's what I learned
- the fluid pump will not work if you're using Redline 'cocktail' oil because the the bottle necks are shaped differently (even though they're 1 qt as well)
- I used a 5/8" PVC hose from Home Depot with a funnel and poured it from the engine bay. Its a lot faster since you don't have to pump it like a hundred times. You'll need to 'step down' the diameter of the 5/8" hose to something narrower to get the tube into fill hole. I just used a smaller tube and wrapped it with electrical tape to get a snug fit.
- Race Ramps makes it a helluva lot faster
