So it looks like my transmission needs to come out for a rebuild.
I'd like to put it up on my Kwik Lift to make it easy.
Unfortunately I discovered the problem by draining the fluid and seeing the mess in the pan.
So that's the background, now for the stupid question.

What's the minimum fluid needed to drive the car on the lift, without causing further damage?
Trying to eliminate dumping $100 worth of fluid back in it, only to be thrown away.
