fill it till it pours out....re-install the plug. You should be able to feel oil at the bottom of the hole

not sure what you're talking about. so you mean remove the size 24 bolt and fill it to the top and put the bolt back on? what bottom of the hole are you referring to?

the top one where you fill it (at the front of the transmission) Once it starts pouring out, you're good. If you stick a finger in it and its even with or close to the lower part of the hole, you're good. Guess I could have cleared that up a bit
