r154 refill problems !!!!! help
Hello community so i decided to change my tranny fluid and came across a hurtle. The filler plug is all the way up in the transmission tunnell and there is no way to get a funnel up in there, the drive shaft is also in the way , i tried numerous things and was not successfull , i have drained the oil unfortunatley not thinking i would have this problem .One of my buddys said try from the top where my shifter is but i can't even get my shift **** to unscrew so i can get the center console out , so i got frustrated and just left everything how it is , still i have no tranny fluid in there . has anyone experienced this problem , or how would i extract the fluid from the bottle in order to pump it into the filler hole . need help suggestions thank you .
you can also do it with a fluid transfer pump found at most local auto stores it will take a min to do all the pumping and make sure you have a little extra fluid because you may spill some while changing bottles and the fluid that gets stuck in the lines for the pump too. 4qts should do it. I hope you bought a gl-5 type fluid in my opinion it works best.

That's how I always fill the rear axles on dump trucks/semi's/Tractors I work on.. Also for filling the transmission.. just a pump attachment on top of a 5 gallon drum. Or another alternative, is, if you have a lucas oil bottle, the kind with the spout on top, put on a piece of 1/4" vacuum line and simply squeeze the bottle of transmission fluid and it will run thru the hose and into the tranny
Maybe grab an extra quart of fluid... Might take a bit to fill the line when filling.. Better to have some extra left then not enough!
