Two Questions

First- when dropping the transmission pan, it says the gasket is reusable, and the filter is suppose to be good forever !
If the filter is suppose to be good forever why not just take it off and clean it real good the reinstall ?
Second- Is there a faster way to get the transmission fluid into the truck, as it takes forever using a funnel etc ?
Thanks and I appreciate any and all suggestions.
Robert

I believe Mark said to reuse the filter if it's not damaged. Refilling threw the dip stick is the only way I know of. Drain the convertor if it has a plug.
