Buttondoor,
Your response was of tremendous help. I suspected filling to the bottom of the side hole may not be enough since the diagram in the owners' manual shows a right angle elbow, and the "dipstick" markings beginning at the bottom and going up. Without a dipstick, I wish I knew how much additional fluid was recommended after it reached the bottom of the hole. Either that, or knowing the measurement upwards on the dipstick would allow a calculation. I believe the problematic 2nd gear is up there on top which increases the importance of knowing where the oil level should be. Maybe someone will weigh in over time.
