@Vopli88 my grandpa is 90 now and has been working on cars professionally since 1953 never used gloves and never got cancer.

Although I would still recommend gloves because then you can change the fluid while its still fairly hot without burning your skin off,

You should seriously wear some mechanic's gloves when handling transmission fluid, or ANY auto fluid for that matter. You're looking at skin cancer before you're in your 40s. Always put the health of your body first.

yack yack yack i wanted to see someone grease inside a tranny. i have an older truck and it was filled with grease (calls for atf though) and no drian plug (ford 3speed w/o/d) was hoping for a faster way than funneling though a hose taped to a funnel. videos are worthless unless you're a tard who doesn't belong with wrench in hand. good idea i guess giving the lesser experienced/educated a point in the right direction.
