Default MixMizer...where to buy it?

Hi guys. I was looking for the "mixmizer" to do the clutch fluid extraction but I can't seem to find it here in my town. I have gone to 3 different Walmarts and called 2 pep boys and no one seems to know what I am talking about.

Some of you forum members did say they have found it at Walmart in the auto section but I can't find it.

Any info on this would be appreciated,

Thanks in advance,

John

I was wondering if one of those rubber bulb type snot suckers used for infants would work just as good? Anyone tried one of these?

I've used an old trigger spray top and tube from windex (clean it first)or any other household product. The tube reaches down into opening in the bottom of the clutch fluid tank and sucks everything out no problem. I spray it into an old coffee can.

Had the same experience. None of the auto parts stores had it. Got it at Walmart. It was a little over $3 with tax. I find it hard to move the plunger (fits very tight). I put a little lubricant on it and it's better, but still not great IMO.

Man that brings back some snotty memories. That sucker worked great on the kid but not sure it has a long enough snoot to work in this application.

And few late nights too.

Now that think about it, the fluid that gets on the outside of the tip could drip and make a bit of a mess also. Oh well, not one my better ideas.

So far, I like carboman's idea of the spray bottle tube the best.
