Newb question..

I am trying to change the differential oil on my 83 T/A, and everything went smoothly until i realized I couldnt get the new oil to the fill plug. The exhaust is right in the way and I cant seem to be able to fit a funnel or the bottle. Is there something I'm missing?

Re: Newb question..

just go by the parts house and pick up one of those cheapo pumps with a plastic fill tube.

Here is an example. http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/de...&keyword=pumps
