or this what you all talking about

https://www.harborfreight.com/gear-oil-and-fluid-pump-63588.html

When I did my F150 back diff fluid a while ago I use the hand pump from HF to remove the fluid and then used the Valvoline squeeze fluid to put back it. Worked very well.

Does the 1/2 inch tubing on the Harbor Freight pump slide down the Fitzstick tube without any problems ??? Referring to the Pittsburg Multi Pump
Asking about using it for removal, not adding....have a small funnel for adding.

Get yourself one of those hand pumps with a hose that screws onto the container. It made adding fluid very easy.
Thanks for the tip, but I've got a nice little baby funnel and hose that works great with MBS Dipstick! ULV drains quite fast using it, and I won't risk over filling.

About a 1/2 cup at a time. Unless the transmission is leaking/using a LOT of fluid, just a couple shots from this should do it. (Also works grate to suck the brake fluid out of the reservoir when doing a fluid flush.. fill with clean and start bleeding... much quicker)

Oh Damn,

Good news, bad news, it's been over 60 days since I ordered them, I finally got the 2nd half of my first batch of hoses, they look great, but some are too long, not sure how how many I will be able to build into a proper fitting part.

I will get to work and see how it goes, I think 24 of them are okay.

I will be happy when I can make my own hoses to an exact length!

I was able to use this. My vintage funnel. The tip fits the FitzStick perfectly. Checked mine after install & had to add about 1/3 of a qt. All is good. :like:

Those old metal funnels are great, those used to be the standard until the cheap straight plastic ones came along.

Glad it went well? Thanks


As for the hoses, they say for that length of hose it's supposed to be a tolerance of +- 1/4" some of these are beyond that.

The last batch was spot on, this was one of my concerns that led me to buy a hose crimper, I may have to cut these apart, take the bracket and make new ones, who said it would be easy:facepalm:
