Hi all,
I recently (Finally!) had to fill the transmission. Rather than mess
with long hoses or flexible funnels from the engine compartment I used
one of these "lower unit" pumps.

I cut off the end of the hose with the adapter, and also cut off the
bottle cap that is snapped onto the pump body. Then I took one of my ATF
bottles and cut the same size hole into its cap, and fit the pump into
the cap. Presto! It works like a soap pump dispenser, the only downside
is the pump stroke volume isn't very large so it takes a few minutes to
do a bottle. On the other hand, once you get close to the right level,
you can add just a little at a time without getting oil all over the
place. The pump even has a screw-down-to-lock feature so that you could
take it along if you had to.
Cheers,
Theo
