On the fact sheet about changing the atf fluid it mentions a certain pump for draining the fluid does anybody what it is called or where you can get one from,as i dont have any ramps to do it the other way. It also mentions changing the filter i know this might sound daft but which filter

Hi
The thing you're after is a Pela Pump - can't remember where I got mine, but they appear on Ebay and, if you Google it, you'll come up with loads of suppliers.

Kevo? Put a search in for a local chandlers,i managed to get my pela pump brand new from a chandlers in Warrington for £29.99.

If memory serves me correctly, there are two gauze filters inside the autobox,there is a filter on the pick up,when this is removed for cleaning,another gauze filter can be seen on the round pipe that goes up into the gearbox.

Remember that everything needs to be clinically clean when working with autoboxes,they dont like dirt!.....

Did mine with a Clarke oil suction gun - bit more fiddly but much cheaper - have used it for other stuff too such as pulling out some coolant fluid from the header top up the antifreeze concentration.

Search under ATF AND change or try here:

You'll need to go to B and Q to get a longer lenght of quite narrow pipe to get down into the ATF sump from the dip stick.

It's a Pela 6000 suction pump thingy - 6 litre capacity - and a brilliant bit of kit - SO many uses. Mine was also about £30 from eBay.

the thread anywhere. Oh and how much to use.
