just take the fill plug out, put a small funnel with a tube in there and fill it until it starts to have the excess coming out.

that is the correct way, there is no short cuts. you can't check the fluid level on a manual tranny.

especially when changing the fluid, you remove the drain plug, dump the fluid, replace plug, remove fill plug, and add until fluid comes out, this is how it's done.
