Instead of buying the kit they sell to change tranny oil, I bought a 2 gallon pump up garden sprayer for 16 bucks, ordered a new oil plug for the tranny, drilled it out and tapped for a 1/4 inch threads. bought a 1/4 male x barbed brass adapter at the local hardware to install into the tapped drain plug. and about 8 foot of clear 1/4 id tubing. Installed the tubing thru the adapter on the sprayer housing and feed enough for it to rest in one of the molded foot depressions inside on the bottom, and pushed the other end on the barbed fitting (got to tighten the housing adapter and ensure the plastic ferrel is installed correctly). Got about 26 bucks in this and it works really well. Have used it at 40K and again at 80K. Have this one marked for VW usage. Have done the same with a one gallon to use with Ford LV Mercon to flush the lines and Torque converter out. Garden sprayer should have the right seals/O-rings to withstand the chemical used in lawn and garden applications
