According to manual a full transmission stripdown requires approx. six litres. An oil change only three litres.
Add transmission oil through dipstick holder until it just shows on the cross hatching at the bottom of dipstick and let the pump fill up the TC by starting engine in P with handbrake on.
Warm to running temp and at idle check oil level. If necessary add to correct level between the two marks.
Do not overfill.
