Changing transfercase fluid?

Disturban · February 18, 2009, 08:19:56 PM

What do you'all use to pour new fluid back in? I am changing the fluid on our bravada and there is not enough room to get a funnel up there and a quart bottle! Is there some kind of cheap pump I can get to pump it from the bottle up to the case?

I have no room to tip the bottle if I do it that way...I need some kind of cheap pump...and by cheap I mean under $20.

just get a nozzle that screws on to it at an auto value store and squeeze it in and if you need more space use a hose that fits the nozzle and squeeze

I think I will try a long hose and have my wife hold the bottle under the hood by the firewall and squeeze while I hold the hose in the T-case.

I bought a small plastic pump that actually screws on the top of quart bottles ,kinda like a squirt bottle and then work the plunger on top, its used for boat ,lower unit gear lube, works great to pump lube into hard to reach places,a hose comes along with it.Ive had it forever, think I got it at a boat store.

I bought a manual suction gun. It has a cylinder tube that sucks up/pumps out. Came with a foot of clear hose. At the back is the pump rod lever (looks alittle similar to an old style grease gun) Id try NAPA.....or Autozone.

Whats really nice for axles.........is you can change the fluid without taking the Diff cover's off and having to replace the diff gaskets.

Works great with ATF and gear oils.........plus the top unscrews so can clean out the inside of it when your done.
