You you've got it but to make filling easier get an old gear lube bottle wash it out and use it to fill the t case makes it so much easier

I have a flexible funnel, I think it will work. I bought 2 quarts of atf, will that be enough?

I just take the spout off a gear oil bottle and screw it onto the atf bottle.

+1. i keep a whole pile of old gear lube spouts that i reuse over and over for t-case and diff's.

i bought a clever little pump at walmart for $5 last year that works great. i used it on a jeep rear diff where there was zero room to get the bottle up in there due to spare tire, suspension, etc. it screws on the bottle and has a little hand pump on top.

I got a drill pump from Lowes a couple years ago for my differentials that cost about $7. I also got a couple feet of 3/8" clear tubing and a couple plastic adapters for it to choke it down to 3/8". Differential fluid changes take minutes now compared to an hour or more because I shove that hose in there, hold the pump and hit the go button on the drill. They're empty in no time.
