how to pour fluid into a 716.21 manual transmission?
what's the accepted method of getting manual transmission fluid into an '81 240D, 716.21 tranny?
from underneath the car, i put the bottle above the filler hole, ran a plastic tube down, and started a syphon. it's pretty slow going because the fluid is so thick, and the tube rather narrow. also it was a *****. is there a better way? -jeff |

oil
it seems i have used a squeeze bottle with a long pointd snout. perhaps also with a tube attached. the sifon would be sinfully slow.

to answer my own question, for anyone who wants to know:
one easy way is to use a simple pump, the likes of which you can find installed on hand-soap dispensing bottles. lash a tube onto the output, drop the stem into your bottle of fluid, and pump away. i put in redline MTL. everyone here swears by it, so it's probably ok. the redline gear oil went in the rear axle... actually the bottle was .946L, and the spec was 1L.. i hope that's close enough. |

" SPEC "
It is supposed to be at the bottom of the level hole.... just like on the rear differential.... Redline MTL should be great. |
