I forget who mentioned it, but "they" said you could buy a syringe type thing
with a long tube that would suck some ATF through the fill pipe... I've never
seen one.

If it was me I'd just buy a roll of tubing thin enough to snake down the fill
pipe... Do the old thumb over the end trick and real her in. It may take
awhile but you'll eventually get the right level (assuming he didn't put a
quart too much!). Make sure the tube (or anything else!) you stick in there is
clean as it goes right into the tranny reservoir.

Good luck.
Tom

Alrighty... Quick Question for you guru's. Yesterday during a routine check
of my fluids I noticed when someone had replaced his transmission filter,
he may have inadvertantly added too much ATF. So the question is does
anyone know a cheap easy way to get some of that fluid out? Thanks.

P.S.
Ok... If you want to comment to the guy for a good job on changing the
filter without a torque wrench and no leaks... it was me... However if you
want to yell at how stupid could someone be to add too much ATF... it was
my friend who did it...
