where did you get your pump that measures?? and that is a good idea

 

Anyone know an easy way to fill the rear diff?? I've been taking out my driver side wheel and sneaking a tube into the fill but it seems to take FOREVER for the fluid to go in since it's so thick and at a really bad angle....

Here are some techiques I use when the filling:

- tranny, taking out your air filter and sneaking a hose to the fill
- center diff, sneak a hose down near the firewall near the strut bar

 

I've filled all my trannies while it's still on ramps and throw the plug in. Never had a blown seal or any problems with the tranny. If nothing happens the extra oil might help.

Long tube connected to the fill bottle, or if you're using the steel mitsu cans long tube connected to a funnel.

 

Anyone have experience with those fluid pumps? I want to try that on my rear diff next time...

 

I bought small pump from AutoZone works great! to refill, rear, front and tranny fluid. Also used 4 jack stands, so the car sits on same lvl. Safety is #1. So whatever you save on labor? buy tools for the car. Now im lucky I do all the work at my friends shop :->

 

I've bought one each from pepboys and autozone and they both work great. Even with a bad angle the pump definitely does its job.

 

I can't believe no one recommended Redlines MT-90 which is what most people use here... that and diaqueen?.... I also need to get mines done...

 

yeah its just people's preference... but you can't go wrong with the oem stuff

 

ok i just bought the suction gun for the fluids but i was thinking about when i use the oil for the t-case & rear diff and then i have to fill my trans with a diffrent kind of oil my question is what happens if i mix a little big of one oil into the other?? the guns looks like it would be really hard to clean the oil out completely i dont think sucking up water and shaking it around would help!?? what do you guys think i should do about this probelm.

The pump will leave it self clean if you push all the fluid out. If you want to be safe, brake cleaner can be used. Regarding where to purchase, harbor frieght carries them.

 

no it wont be completely clean there will be alot of residue left over after using it! so how bad would it be if i mixed a very little bit of one with the other?? or should i make sure the gun it completely clean before i use the next fluid?? how do you guys recommend i clean out the gun! "i cant take it apart "

 

oh and how would brake cleaner help me?

 

Try brake cleaner on oil. Works well.

 

what do you mean brake cleaner! brake dust cleaner? and wouldnt it be harmful if some was left over in the gun? what does everyone do when replacing diff & trans with the same pump/gun do you guys clean in it betwean oils???

 

get two separate pumps, thats what i did. Someone recommended just flushing it with water but no way in hell are u flushing everything out. Especially the gear oil, its very thick and flushing it with water or anything doesnt really help. Besides a pump isn't expensive at all so I just got two separate ones.
