    I usually find working with a helper to be more frustrating.
    Well, then you found a better pump than I did. The one I found, basically fits onto a quart jug, but the threads aren't quite right and it doesn't create a good enough seal. You can still pump a good amount of fluid up into the tranny, but a lot spills out from underneath the cap, since it doesn't thread right. I'd like to know what type you have, because it does make doing it yourself a little easier. Luckily for me (and CrnCnn) we did our tranzies together in one day. In this case, the help was good

    The threads on an Amsoil qt. may be a different pitch?...not sure.
    But the one I have doesn't depend on being sealed at the top, it sucks from near the bottom of the bottle. There is always some left in the bottom, when it won't pull any more up. I just set the empties aside as I fill & combine them later.

    In any event, it's messy & not my preferred method of having fun.

    That must be it. The pumper I have just plain doesn't work with Mobile-1 quarts. And yes, the tranny is a freakin' whore of a job. Its not really all that hard, just messy, uncomfortable and time consuming.....and trans fluid makes the skin on my hands feel weird after they have been soaked in it for long enough
