Default adding tranny fluid

is there any special tool, pumps etc that i may need to have before i start to add tranny to my engine
i have a 1999 randge rover 4.6 and i need to add oil
when i bought the car the previous owner told me he had done a full tune up but i'm not convinced so i was unsure if i should change the tranny oil due to the fact that a Range Rover tech told me that its not always a good thing to drain and refill to just add when needed
i have 130k mile

Default RE: adding tranny fluid

So, with your mileage and uncertainity, list is my list, although somewhat over kill, it has to be done, and can be done out in your driveway with a little guidance.
This is the parts list for a 60,000 mile service or a high mileage used truck, the way I do it.
1 Oil filter, K&N 3001
1 Air filter
6 Qts of engine oil
12 Qts of ATF
7 Qts of 80/90W gear oil
2 Qts of Brake fluid
2 Qts of synthetic Power steering fluid
2 Gallons of OAT, orange coolant
1 Bottle of Lucas Power Steering additive
1 Bottle of Lucas Transmission additive
1 Can of Spray Carb. Spray
1 Can Of Brake cleaner
8 Spark Plugs, I use Bosch Platium Plus 4's
1 Set of Magnacor 8mm plug wires
1 Serpentine belt if not yet replaced
2 Bottles of SeaFoam


60,000 Mile Service or Major Service for High Mileage Used Vehicle just purchased
Bleed the brakes
Flush and change the power steering fluid adding one bottle of additive
Service the tranny adding one bottle of additive
Flush the coolant system
Do an engine flush before changing the oil
Do an induction cleaning
Clean the throttle body
Add fuel additive to full gas tank
Change both of the diffs fluid
Change the t/case oil
Replace the plugs and wires
Replace the air filter
Lube all the drive shaft grease fitting including the 2 slip shafts
Do full inspection of brakes, hoses, bushings etc.

Hopefully I didn't leave anything out. Shout if you want and we can talk about any specific questions.
