Sta Lube Pump Question

[turbof128]

Does it fit the Redline 1 qt bottles?

[clex2]

I can tell you that it fits the 1 gallon containers of windshield wiper fluid. The quart containers are too small, I think.

Somebody's been reading Ron Stygar's page.

FYI, you can also find them at NAPA.

[turbof128]

Yup, Ron's site and the knowledge base. I'm guessing it doesn't fit the 1qt bottle.

[aceyx]

Qt bottle opening is like 1", sta-lube fits washer fluid, probably 1.5"

it works with the 1qts, doesn't go all the way to bottom but makes enough of a vaccum to crush the bottle as you pump.

just filled the tranny with MT90 using one.

def one of the must have tools in the shop(I have two) 1 for Diff Fluid, 1 for Trans fluid.

How come MT90 and not D4 ATF?

8lb flywheel + MT90 = Dead Quiet/No chatter, No Ratter. Just Performance.

Gaining Revs like a Rocket in the Sky. Priceless.

OK, I'm about to change the fluid in my manual transmission and differential. Looks like some sort of pump is needed to get the new fluid into the filler hole. Where can I order these StaLube pumps, and are there any alernatives?
Many thanks,

walmarts carry them in the Auto. Dept.

[studyolic]

I don't think we have Walmart in Scotland. I'll take a look in a couple of motor supply shops.
Thanks

Any type of fluid pump should do. The Sta-Lube pumps are similar to those on industrial size ketchup containers, just black and clear. They also have a "grip" on the nozzle to keep it in the fill hole.

Check your local auto parts store. They should have something.

[studyolic]

thanks. I'd like to post a couple of photos of what I think are the gearbox drain and filler plugs. Would this thread be OK, or should I use a different forum?
Thanks.

[aceyx]

Google "Ron Stygar." He has pictures of both. Remember to use penetrating oil (NOT WD40) and to pull the FILL plug first, then the drain plug.

You should warm up the car to get the fluids moving, but don't torque down the bolts until it has cooled to prevent stripping the threads.

[studyolic]

Thanks for that.
