I use a plastic funnel with a long, flexible hose which I got at Kragens.
Hang the funnel from a metal hook formed from a coat hanger, put the filling
spout as far as possible into the fill hole on the side of the tranny, fill the
funnel and wait a while, Repeat until the fluid just starts to drip out of
the side fill port. Wait a while. Fill a little more .... dripping resumes?
You are done.
The reason for the slow filling is small holes between the diff and the gear
housing. The small holes are needed so the diff doesn't run dry on long
uphills and the gears don't run dry on long downhills
Have fun,
