Hello once again.

I was doing a bunch of oil changes on velvet drives and they all have the stupid screen that tapers down around the dipstick, which means I have to use a really thin tube to suck the trans fluid out. It takes a really long time with the thin tube, and I'd like to buy the special socket to remove the screen. I did some ZF trannies and they don't have the screen; it literally took 20 minutes to do both engines. I can't find for the life of me where to buy this tool. Does anyone know what it is called and where to get it? I am really tired of having to use a long thin tube to get the fluid out.

Thanks

Can't recall ever seeing a filter screen in the dipstick/oil fill on a velvet drive. I've really only seen the 71c and 72c models/styles in a majority of boats. A quick Google search yielded no results for such a screen

What model(s) velvet drive are you working on?
