How to add ATF after replacing 2003 Audi TT transmission pan?

My daughter ran over something and crushed the 6speed automatic transmission pan. I am buying a new pan and filter. Without buying a specialized tool, how do I get the ATF into the transmission? There is no top stick or filler hole. The fluid apparently must be added through the bottom drain plug. Is there an easy and non-messy way to do this?How to add ATF after replacing 2003 Audi TT transmission pan?The fill hole is on transmission differential housing just below the fluid cooler and by the axle shaft insert. Use Torx T55 to remove the the plug.

The plug on the transmission pan is called overflow plug. Use it to check trans fluid level. The drain plug is at the bottom center of the transmission body. Look at the new transmission pan, you know what i mean.

Without special tool you have to fill it from the fill hole (make sure you remove the plug from overflow tube from the pan first). Check the fluid level after shift through all gears then leave it in Park and engine running idle. Wait until fluid stops flow out from overfill tube. ATF fluid temperature must be between 80'F to 120'F. It takes around 5 quarts (may be less if you just remove the pan without remove the drain plug)

You can fill the fluid from the overfill tube by pumping. Hand pump will not work well in this TT.How to add ATF after replacing 2003 Audi TT transmission pan?look again for a dipstick that tells if ur fluid is low if you find that put it down the tube that stick goes in
