a tip for filling A4s

As i layed under my vert trying to figure out how to top off my A4 trans after a motor change I found a way. I used a sprayer like you would use to spray insecticide or other liquids. Im talking about the ones with the pump that you pump up and pressurize it then just pull the trigger and it gushes out. I cut the adjustable nozzle tip off mine so it would flow freer. It had a wand about 12 inches long so it made it easy to get into the fill hole.I was able to pump about 3 quarts in about 3 or 4 minutes and didnt spill a drop until it seeped out like it should.The one i used costs between 10 and 20 bucks but what an easy way to do it. Hope this helps someone else out. Normand

Thats a cool idea, I wonder is the tank and pump will have any issues after being in contact with the trans fluid for a while.. I mean I know insectiside ect but oil sometimes ruins rubber causes it to swell ect..

So Far I have just been usuing a hand pump I bought from matco tools..
