Changing diff & gearbox fluids - can I reuse the fluid pump?

[Kryptek49]

Going on a 1500 mile road trip at the end of this month, so I'm changing all the fluids on my car this weekend.

 

I haven't had to change a fluid on a car before that involved using a fluid transfer pump.  Once I've used the pump to fill the rear differential, how do you then clean it to then use it for the gearbox? I assume they're not one time use, but you can't just rinse it out with water can you? Or would the residual oil left over not make a difference?

I've had a google as it's not really a Zed question but haven't found anything about it.

Hot water and detergent, then rinse surely?
