Pump for Gear Lube
« on: September 22, 2009, 03:53:24 AM »
I want to change the trans fluid in my TJ on Saturday and all I have is one of those hoses that screw onto the end of a gear lube bottle. I have put fluid in there like that, but there really isn't room and it makes a huge mess trying to tip the bottle up between the frame and control arm. Does anybody have one of those pumps I can use for filling the trans?

Jeremy, you gonna be around Saturday and can I use your garage? It's a lot easier to just do the work  there than pick up the pump, drive all the way back to Groton and then drive back out there to return the pump.

The rally is on Sunday and I want to get the work done on Saturday, but thanks for the offer. Jeremy, I'll give you a call later this week, but I'll plan on working in your garage on Saturday. Thanks

That's much more work than just borrowing a pump to put it in from the fill hole.

That's not a bad idea. I would only make a mess at the end when fluid starts coming out the fill hole and I still have a hose full of fluid.

True, but if you looked up the capacity which I think is 3.2 qt and only used that much, and yu used a clear hose you could see when it started to "back up" and you would only have a small spill which you could capture with a couple of rags!
