You don't need a pump. Simply screw on a sprout and squeeze the container to get oil into the tranny.

Good luck.

If you try the squeeze method, you will need a more fluid, since you won't be able to get all the oil out of the bottle. You can buy the pumps at any auto part store.

Have any friends in the medical field? Have them get you a piece of clear plastic tubing (12-16 inches long) used for ventilators, etc. This is hooked up to the spout the oil bottles have and presto. Squeeze and get all the fluid into the diff or tranny!
Great fun.

Most transmission oil bottles don't have the nipple for a hose (Redline MT-90, GM Synchromesh, Honda MTL). You will be best off buying a $15 pump when you buy the oil.

Get an old garden hose and snake it through the engine bay. You will most likely need a second helper, but no pump and no extra fluid. It's easy to get people to work for beer.
