Well wanted to check the fluid level in the OD unit, and was able to do that, but here is the question, How do you add ATF fluid to it? Seems like you have to use a small hose or something. Any ideas, or better solutions?

Thanks guys.

Frank

I use a siphon I got at AutoZone for $5. Works great!

i took a cap that would go on a **** gun put it on the bottle of fluid, then found a old water toy, that had a nice long hose. shoved that onto the tip of the bottle, and shoved the other end into the od unit... just squeez the bottle till it starts making a big mess. :D

They sell a pump with clear plastic tubes. Put the vette up on jackstands, set the bottle on the floor below and started pumping. I tried the turkey baester too, didn't work
