Take off the shifter and pour it in through there.

I just got a couple feet of clear tubing about 3/8 or 1/2" ID and ran it along the firewall, then put a funnel on one end and the other end in the fill hole.

There are also little pumps that you put in the bottle that kinda remind me of soap dispensers, only with a tube on it. They sell em at Wally world.

Both methods work well.

I did the shifter. When I tried with a hose I couldnt keep it straight enough and fluid wouldnt flow through it well.
