[QUOTE="Augster, post: 1996165, member: 19867"] I did this initially, and it was just awful. I jury rigged a funnel, clear hose, and barbed end hose connector to the threaded dipstick tube end, finagled a way to hang the funnel along the hood edge and it took forever to full THAT much fluid. And after all that work getting that B&M schtick installed and marking the end, it was just impossible to see accurately where the fluid level was on the hash-marked tip. Someone suggested painting that tip white to make it easier to see the fluid level, but I'm afraid of the paint flaking off into the tranny. I just could never determine the fluid level and eventually resorted to unscrewing the end of the braided tube going into the tranny and manually filled it with a special fluid hand pump with hook-shaped nozzle and it was a breeze. And of course, checked the oil level using the little OEM stick. I still kept the B&M installed but now carry the OEM stick in the truck in case I need to check the tranny fluid. [/QUOTE]
