Re: 4 speed Trans fluid
I put my fluid in a sturdy container that you can pressurize with shop air, run a rubber hose with a metal u bend ( I use 1/2" steel hydraulic pipe) into the side of the tranny, use an air regulator at the container set at zero then slowly turn it so the fluid is just moving usually 5# to 8# is all that is needed, allow it to fill so it just starts running out and replace plug. You can do this hookup on your bench and run the hose under the truck.

SM465? Fill it through the shifter hole until it runs out the fill hole on the side.

Re: 4 speed Trans fluid
Use an old grease gun or a big syringe, to move the fluid from one container and squirt it into another. It can be used as a turkey baster of a sort.
