Looks like we were doing it right?
This is wrong. It is essential that the engine must be running.

To fill the transmission, go to the hardware store, buy a funnel and about 5' of flexible vinyl tube to fit the funnel. That will allow you to fill the transmission from the top of the engine bay while the car is still running. When the transmission is full, you go under the car and put back the fill plug (engine still running)
