List,

I've just had the unpleasant experience of filling the o/d gearbox on my '72 
MGB with an old Sears oil gun. A good deal of the oil was on me and the 
floor. Even less fun when you're trying to do it with the car on jackstands 
and ramps. 3 quarts also necessitated 6 trips from under the car for (messy) 
refills.

Does anyone have a better method short of buying a lift or taking it to 
someone else? A pump of some kind perhaps?

The only good news is that the addition of a non return valve spring has 
fixed the overdrive! Guess the guy who sold it to me on Ebay left that small 
piece out!
