You can put it in from the speedo cable plug in with like a silicon hose or a pump type thing...also their is a plug on top of the tranny. try using your moms turkey baster!!

the speedo cable plug is right in the back of the tranny right? Like right near the firewall?

Pic?

I dont have to have to have the car done until tonight and this and putting the wheels back on is all thats left

Is it just unplugging this cable and refilling the fluid till it seeps out?

if its a cable tranny you will see the speedo cable running from the firewall to the top of the tranny and just unplug it without loosing the clip that holds it in and fill her up

I've NEVER heard of filling ur tranny with fluid at the speedo drive inlet....until it overflows. The actual designated area to fill ur tranny with fluid is on the back left side of the tranny (if looking at the tranny from the passenger side wheel well). It should be a 17mm plug like ur oil pan plug.

i meant to say that you don't want to fill your tranny fluid up in that hole until it starts to pour out of the vss. You still have to loosen the drain plug on the side of the tranny and wait till it seeps out of the drain plug.

I actually didnt read your post before I went out and tried

I couldnt get the VSS out so I started looking for other **** and I found this guy, poured some fluid in and undid the drain plug, out came the fluid I just poured in, I didnt know how much to put in though, so I just put in what came out lol

I just used a long hose and a funnell

People are going to tell you Honda MTF, some will say suggest that if your syncros(late, sp?) grind you should get GM Syncromesh, I personally use Mobile One 10w30.
