I take it you have a manual trans.
The easiest way to fill is by pulling off the shifter and filling it there.

^^^exactly or else the fill plug is on the side of the tranny and you must use a pump of some sort (if the tranny is in the car). fill it until it starts dripping back out of the fill plug

Your out of your mind. Then how are you supposed to know if you have the propper amount in it? Not to mention pulling the shifter is alot of extra work!!!

The fill is on one side and the drain is in the other. About mid way in the trans.
