Default filling tranny up?

well i finished another swap in my car and i usually fill the tranny up with oil through the side with this special oil pump untill oil starts to drip back ou but now i dont have that tool right now and remember that i can fill the tranny up through the VSS hole. now i am going to do this but i dont know how much is too much when filling through that hole, i dont want to over fill it has anyone done this before and can tell me how i know when i have enough fluid in the tranny?

thats way too much

remove the filler hole then fill from the VSS
when it comes out of the filler its full.

yup . that's how i did it. after it started coming out of the side hole i poured about another 1/4 quart because you have to compensate for the tranny being tilted (since it's jacked up).
