TD6 easy transmission filler !! | |
Changed the transmission fluid today, I'll run it a week then change the filter and oil again. I was lucky, all plugs came out easy.
Filling the box looked like it was going to be time consuming and messy so a brain wave was needed We had an Aldi garden sprayer at work with a broken nozzle / tube (been run over) so, first job is clean it out thoroughly then blow it dry. Then I cut off the steel tube with the nozzle on leaving about 2 1/2" of tube sticking out the handle (no nozzle, just steel tube). Filled it with Texaco ATF and pumped it up to pressure. Stuck the tube in the filler hole and locked the trigger to "on". 5 minutes later it's pumped 5 ltrs of fluid into the box with no mess at all, didn't even have to hold the handle in the box, stayed in on it's own
For about £8 it's worth buying a new one just for this job.
I love it when a plan comes together.
