Transmission fluid pump options
Is there a solid oil pump on the market that is great for replacing the transmission fluid? I hate working with the mickey mouse bullshit ones at autozone, and the air compressor method is fun but dangerous.
anyone use something like this?

I've used a hose attached to the extended snout of the Oil bottle (QS), turned the bottle upside-down and pump the bottle by hand. Sure there is some oil left but you only need 1.9 bottles anyway.
I have a funnel-hose setup somewhere too, just keep track how much oil you have added... (and don't forget to replace the drain plug )
85W-140 is a bit boring to pour though, pumping the bottle is faster.

pop this amsoil pump into your bottle, pump away with the hose that is included.
has different sticks for the quart or gallon bottles.

Maybe/hopefully the Amsoil one is better. If so I'll have to pick one of those up.

How much fluid does this transfer per pump? I've used a few of the generic parts stores ones, and I'd guess they transfer between 1 and 1.1 teaspoons of oil per pump. So ~200 pumps later, you've moved around a quart of oil into the transmission. :-/

no idea how much per pump but i wouldnt say that it would be 200 pumps. when i did the 250wt oil it may have been though. that stuff is like pumping grease.

I use air compressor method (brake line piece in cap to the bottom of bottle and additional hole for air)
Mess free and as long as you don't go full retard on the air hose very safe and easy. Been doing it for years without incident.

I used a 5 foot section of 3/8" hose, duct taped a funnel to it and slowly poured fluid in with the funnel zip-tied to the hood. The hose ran along the exhaust into the fill hole. Any extra fluid will run down the transmission and drip off after filling. Just put a fluid pan down there; it's very predictable where it will drip (straight down from filler hole if the car is on a level surface).
I had my fluid filled for 5 bucks (plus fluid) and 10 minutes. Most of that was getting the RTV off my filler hole plug.
