MNo kidding! You can't get it from the top, so you have to get under the
car (heavy-duty ramps and a creeper) and reach your hand up over and
around a couple things, take it off, go above and get a LOOOOONG funnel,
and then reverse. Time to punch an engineer in the nose!!

More and more newer transmissions, especially LePellitier designs fill
like manual transmissions. One drain plug and one fill/inspect plug.

You also have to make sure the temperature is within a certain range.

same time; it appears to be coincidence that these two design features are
shadowing each other.  GM has been offering "sealed" (I prefer dipstickless as
it is more accurate but awquard to say) four speed transaxles for quite some
time now.
