Anyone here use one of these and can comment on how well it works? Does it work good for filling?

I've been wrestling around with trying to mount my stock trans tube/dipstick with headers after everything else is already in. Doh! I probably should have attached it when the motor and trans were still out of the car.

Yup. There is one on my Duster (previous owner's install) It works fine, but it mounts directly to the firewall, which makes the knob hard to grab.

Does it work OK for filling? It seems kind of small like you'd be trying to fill through a little straw or something.

Pretty much describes it. Slow and a long funnel

Hmmm, thing I'm worried about is that I've got a new motor and trans to fire up for the first time and I'm going to have to be adding extra trans fluid right after the first start up. I'm worried I won't be able to get it in there fast enough.

Run one hose into a empty bucket and the other into a full bucket of atf, this should suck and push the fluid thru.
