I'm about to change my manual tranny fluid.

Jeff,

One thing that made it a lot easier for me was
a 1 liter siphon/syring that I got at a local
parts store ($20). It looks like a hypodermic for
elephants. Clamp 18" of clear tubing on the end
and it'll make getting the new fluid from the
bottle into the trans an almost drip free
proposition. When the oil reaches the
correct level, it still spills out and makes
a mess.

This syringe makes diff fluid changes a bit
easier.

John
