    Great, thank you. There's other videos about this on RUclips, but you are the only one who left the trigger on the hose. This is exactly what I was looking for.

    Why not just use the wand. Take off the spray tip and heat bend the tip of the wand and go. No need for the clear tubing. Worked for me. If you warm up the fluid by putting the sprayer or bottles of fluid in hot water it makes it easier.

    I bought the same pump. Except i removed the tip and melted the wand into a U shape. Just inserted some thick wire so the tube wouldn’t close under heat. I have an 8L90 with dipstick fill on top. Hooked it in hands free and pumped away. Great vid.

    When you pump the multi-sprayer, a high air pressure is created inside the sprayer container. So when you put the tube connected to the pump container inside the transmission, won't the tube just push air out into the transmission instead of sucking transmission fluid out of the transmission?

    It Works Great i Have One For ATF And One For Brake Fluid. It Will Not Damage The O Ring Inside And Will Last For Many Many Years. Best Part It's Cheap And Works Fantastic. The Second One I Bought At Home Depot Was Only 4.99 For A Limited Time For The One Gall. So How Can You Beat That ?

      He’s not extracting. He’s pumping it into the top of the transmission after draining from the lower plug. Looks like he’s flushing the system good before inserting the lower plug, after which he’ll top it off. It’s useful when areas are difficult to work around.

    • @fallingjeff
      @fallingjeff 3 года назад

      Oh, if you’re looking for an engine oil extractor, look up DIY shop vac oil extractor. Mine works great, but I’ve never used manual, pneumatic, or electric extractor so I can’t really compare them. I can tell you that it’s about the same speed/time as a manual extractor from what I’ve seen.

    Why did you cut the wand? Just screw it off and pressure fit the tubing on the threads just distal to the trigger. Much easier and still works fine. You can still use zip ties if you want, but I've never had a leak problem as long as I keep it under about 30 PSI. Furthermore, if you destroy the wand, it can never be used again as a sprayer. A little brake cleaner and a good flushing would make that possible, but again, NOT if you've cut the sprayer wand in half.

      @manfredstrappen7491 Год назад

      There’s no PSI gauge on these $10 tank sprayers nor should it matter for this application. You just need to fill a reservoir, just like the engine oil but you don’t get gravity to help on the transmission fill.
