3. I don't think there's any other way to do it without the pump, its cheaper - just buy one.
1. if the car is not gonna be on a lift, how do i fill up with tranny fluid with the car being evenly leveled? doesn't the car have to be raised on one side?

2. should i flush the tranny or just refill/replace the fluid once and call it a day until another 30k miles?
