What did you do to your TJ today?

What special tools do I need to change the Transmission Fluid? I’ve been meaning to go with REdline

I made a trans fluid pump out of a hand held weed killer bottle. So that is special!

How does it do pumping such a heavy viscosity like gear lube? How long have you been using it for pumping gear lube?

I have never used it for gear oil. I only use the hand pump for trans fluid. It is probably as fast as a cheap hand pump you get at the parts store, but a lot less messy and a lot easier to use.

For my gear oil I use this. Although it doesn't look like it is available at Summit anymore, but that is where I bought it:

This one actually has a valve stem I can fill with air for pressure, if I don't want to pump it.

Motive makes good stuff. Although I do gravity bleeds on my Jeep's brakes, their power bleeder is very nice for my M3. Pricey I guess, but that is what you pay for quality!

This is everything I use. The cheap bottle pump works but can get a little messy, and I use a torque wrench on almost everything.

Wow! Thanks for the pic. That makes it easy. Threadlocker is a good idea. Looks like I'm set to go. Torque to 22ft/lbs I believe. My shifting has always been lackluster into 2nd and 5th has recently been in denial, so I need to get this done, hopefully the Redline MTL will smooth things out. From all the testimony it does, I'm very optimistic.

What transmission do you have? The nv3550 needs a 17mm hex key for the fill and drain plug. I used a 10mm bolt with a couple nuts jammed on the threads. Use the head in the fill plugs and a wrench on the nuts to turn it out.

I have the NSG370. The 17mm hex needed for the tranny you mentioned was the reason I originally asked. I wasn’t sure if I needed that bit.
 
Raised my stock spare tire light with about 36 washers, giving me an extra 1”. Hoping I can get the spare tire mounted to the new wheel tomorrow and hoping it will fit the modified stock carrier. I’m ready to have a real size spare!
