I just filled from the vent tube on the top of the trans. there's a black rubber cap on it that you can access from the engine bay.

Re: Tranny fluid change....what size hose? (sackdz)
I just changed my tranny fluid two hours ago. I used the $1.99 funnel with a hose and a 3 inch long piece of clear vinyl tubing (3/8ths ID) from the end of the funnel hose to the vent tube.
When I drained the fluid I removed both the drain plug and the 'filler' plug. After drining I put the drain plug back in and then put in the first 2 quarts through the vent tube. It went in fairly fast. I then put the filler plug back in and added the last .3 quart. That went in pretty slow. I did it that way because the car was jacked up at an angle and I wanted to get a complete fill.
Good luck
