Default Where to buy best funnel for tranny fluid change?

I know you need a long necked funnel to change your tranny fluid properly, does anyone here recommend a certain brand/type or have any suggestions of where i should go to find one the perfect size? What do you use?

If you fill it via the VSS hole, you can just use any cheapo long slim funnel. I filled mine via the VSS hole, even though I have a tranny funnel w/ long clear tube and cap on the end, but it was still alot easier because the tube would sometimes kink up when I tried to get it in the filler hole. Also my tranny funnel has a shutoff right before the clear tube, and the top piece has measuing marks on it, so you can measure out about 2.5 quarts when filling and not even have to remove the filler plug.

I use about a 3ft length of 1/2" clear hose with a small funnel and fill through the VSS.

If you just go to Advance Auto Parts, they have the funnels like PatrickGSR94 was talking about w/the clear hose and measuring part at the top....I like those funnels!

I made my own using a water bottle with the bottom cut off and I taped a 2.5' clear hose i had in the garage to the neck. It worked perfectly, I even saved it for a week to change my gf's.

Get one of those pumps that they use for Differentials and stuff. Check any auto store.
