yup I got the little woman to help me too. My clear hose fits nice and tight into the fill holes of the diff and tranny, once I get the hose inserted it is pretty easy as it stays inserted until I am ready to pull it out. The trick is keeping enough slope on the hose going to the diff so gravity can do it's job with the thicker fluid. I tend to overfill the sumps with 2 bottles of tranny fluid and one bottle of diff fluid, so as soon as I pull the hose the excess drains out - keep a pan underneath.

Mine is 1/2 inch inside diameter, and about 5/8" outside diameter. I found funnels that fit inside the hose perfectly, the funnels I found came with short vinyl tubing, I just pulled them off and put on the longer hose. I bought 8 foot lengths but cut them down to about 6 foot each, one for the diff fluid and one for the tranny.

I still prefer to dump into a funnel and avoid pumping at this point.

I screw the gear oil top onto the MTF bottle and shoot it directly out of the bottle. Very fast and mess free.
