Quick Tips
Brett Kingrey from Conway, AR says: To refill your transmission - use an enema bottle. Yeah that's right; a big pink enema bottle with a 4 foot white hose. They have enough capacity for about 2 quarts of fluid. Put the largest fitting on it (for maximum flow) and hang it above the transmission. Release the clamp and in about 5 minutes you'll be done. Stacey's Comments: OK, I don't know what is worse, you getting an enema or giving one to your car! Seriously though, this is a great idea. Everybody knows that filling your tranny can be a pain. This is a great way to do it. Just make sure you don't mix up your tranny fluid bottle with a real enema bottle or things could get a little slippery!
