Hey all,
So in the last few years of wrenching, ive tried to use a bunch of methods of fluid tranfer.
I have extraction down now - i bought a 10 quart siphon extractor setup that ROCKS. Had to have it to suck trans fluid out of our boat, and now i can suck auto trans pans dry in about 10 min from teh dipstick hole before i drop the pan.

Now, pumping the other way around. I've used several $hitty little pumps from kragen to fill Diff's. One dropped its little F'ing straw in my gallon of gear oil. Last nite, i had to pump about 2 liters into my BMW, and the fluid is about $30 a liter, so i couldnt' screw up. I used a little Prestone gallon pump from kragen, and it actually worked ok - but wanted to see what other reccomendations you guys had. Those drill pumps worth anything? Any other suggestions? Theres gotta be a good way to do this.
Oh, and for anyone thinking about working on a car other than these old chevy's, don't. Working under my 540 is not fun at all. I was totally stoked to change the oil on the burb, it was soo roomy under there!
