Default Transmission help quick!

When changing trans fluid throught the shifter where do you fill it at? Is there a fill plug i should see? Or is it in the shifter box? Is it the little hole where the end of the shifter goes into?
TIA

you will see some holes in the back left. but its nothing you can really gauge how much fluid you have in there unless you get under it and undo the fill plug. but about 3.25 quarts is what your going to need in the tranny for a t45, 3650 may be a tad different

sorry yeah it is the shifter box, inside the shifter box you will see where the oil goes down in the corners that i was talking about, just have to unscrew the shifter and sit it aside
