Where can I get a small siphon strong enough to siphon out transmission fluid from the fill tube?

Question

my fluid has been overfilled and the only way in is thru the tube or to pull the pan(not an option). I tried a small plastic squeeze siphon but it wasn't strong enough to bring it up.

Answer 1

Use a small hose about 2 feet long, 3 is better, go to the local parts store and buy a hand vacuum pump with a reservoir to pump the fluid out. I have done this many many times. It is a vacuum tester and also a brake bleeder.

Answer 2

There is a electric drill mounted pump that was designed to remove the engine oil from an engine via a suction tube. This would work perfectly in your case. The problem is that even though I recall seeing them advertised, I do not remember the name. Maybe your local hardware or auto parts store can be of more help. I just know that they were available just a couple of years ago.

Answer 3

Just disconnect the hose going to the transmission cooler. It is held on with a hose clamp. the fluid will drain out.

Answer 4

MightyVac, sold at auto parts stores like Pep Boys.
I use one for bleeding hydrolic lines on a bike.

Answer 5

Try PEP BOYS or AutoZone they should have that little pump everyones talking about.

Answer 6

Try the cooking aisle. Maybe a turkey baster or something of that sort??

Answer 7

an air operated brake bleeder will do the trick, call th elocal jiffy lube and see if they have one.

Answer 8

check northerntool.com. I believe they have what you are looking for. They had one advertised for oil changes.

Answer 9

PET STORE , USED FOR FISH TANKS
