A squeeze bottle of some sort? A funnel? It looks a bit awkward so I was just wondering if you had any tips ahead of time before I take a bath in Honda ATF.

They sell these little pump things at most of the auto stores. That is what i used and it worked great. They are pretty cheap to like only $10.

I hate those POS pumps. Just unbolt the shifter and dump the fluid in that way.

What I did was pop off the console and boot around the shifter, then run a hose from inside the car into the fill hole. Then just drill a hole into the cap of one quart that fits the hose, and use that cap on all the bottles. This way you don't need any pump to get it in there or anything.

Thats a great idea. Its faster than my method and worlds better than laying on your back, covered in ATF while trying to work a POS $5 pump.

I don't use a pump, I got a cap with a hose on it that screws on the bottle. Works fine for transmission and rear end.

Well I just did it, man, GM made certain that that little boot can't come off easily...8 bolts? feh! I undid all of them and slipped in a 3/8" line underneath it and fed it into the tranny. I used mobil 1 synthetic and it seems to have really helped my bad shifting...when it got hot it was a pig to shift into reverse and first. seems a lot better now, though we'll see for sure after a few hours of driving.

Don't hate me, but 2 years ago I got the tranny fluid changed at a jiffy lube...I wonder if that's what caused me grief.
