Default How do I add transmission fluid?

The nipple on the top of the transmission where it says to add the fluid is right under my bottom radiator hose and is about as wide as a pen. I can't fit a funnel in it and I can't get it into the filler bolt hole.

I know this advice is belated, but get a fluid pump, at any local auto store, I have one that threads onto the 1" size tops of oil and other fluid containers, was very usefull for changing the 3 drivetrain fluid parts on my previous awd car.

Yeah like the old fashion oil cans. I've used those countless times on military equipment. Of course you can always just pour it wildly and hope for the best!
