Default Changing Tranny Fluid?

What is the best way to go about changing the tranny fluid on an M6?
That is to say... Once its drained, how do you get the new stuff in? (and yes, I know there is fill plug on the side) <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" />

I had my shifter out so I just poured it in. I was doing a clutch install at the time.Otherwise, I guess you have to pump it in.

If you have to use qrt. bottles, get a top from a 80/90w gear oil qrt. thread to your atf qrt. &sqeeze as much as possible from bottle. You'll probably have a 1/4 bottle left just keep adding with a refilled bottle. Alot easier than pullin shifter or makin' a long hose funnel.

You could use a suction pump. It looks like a grease gun without the handle on the side. Most auto parts stores sell them. Jimmy
