I used a cheap fluid pump from Walmart to get the fluid throw the fill hole. Not much too it really.

I bought a siphon pump from harbor freight for $6, and it made filling the trans MUCH easier.

I just swapped my trans (not ready to go yet because my slave took a crap), but I was planning on leaving the fill plug out and filling through the shifter until it overflows down there- easier for me since I have the shifter off anyway.
