If you can't add info without starting another fluid war, stay outta this thread please.
So I'm switching to Ford Honey, but I usually just use a pump to get the fluid into the tranny. However, all the pumps I find in the stores are made for wider-mouthed bottles like the Mobil 1 fluid. How do I get this stuff into the tranny? I thought about a funnel & tube, but I don't see how I can route it down to the fill hole.

The FAQ states...
Quote:
Some method of filling the transaxle. A small plastic pump that screws to the top of the bottles is available at most auto parts stores for less than $5.
Quote:
Fill the tranny with the pump you acquired from the auto parts store
So, ummm... what do you do?

Just this. Can buy a funnel with a hose attached at the local parts store.
Don't know why the FAQ uses the word pump. Never realized that. It's the wrong info.

I use a pump, and it is a pain. If you can find a funnel with a hose and can figure out the access needed it would most definitely be better.

I know I used a pump like this, I just cut the top of the bottle so that I could make the pump fit, just a slice straight down about half an inch long
or just use a hose and funnel, works just as good

I prefer the pump. Might take a little longer, but I think it's easier to manage how much fluid is en route to the case -- less fluid overflowing on to the concrete. I guess if you're a girly man and aren't able to pump then the funnel would be ideal
