Those things are awful. Piece of pasteboard rolled up to make a funnel? Little nozzle from a tube of silicone cut to the right step? And about 2 hours of your time.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

There is a long narrow funnel I use that is at [almost]any auto store Any chance you could post up a picture of yours for me to see. I got the smallest one I could find at the parts store and its still too wide.

I have had mine for a really long time, seems other companies are not including things they used to so it might be an up charge to be able to fill your trans now lol.

This is the filler that comes with each new trans dipstick...fill rate about 1 quart per hour.  That's the one I didn't get. Looking at the opening for the fluid, when I get it, looks like it's going to be a long afternoon. What were they thinking? It's not that bad. I used 30w or 40w compressor oil and it takes about 10 minutes to fill the trans.
