Help quick! Changing reverse switch...

[Firebird Phoenix]

I asked on LS1.com how to change the reverse switch http://www.ls1.com/forums/showthread.php?t=87263 I posted there how to change this.....i'm doing it now but no one informed me transmission fluid would come out!!!!! Just spilled a bunch of it, how do I add more transmission fluid??? I don't care if this is a noob question i'm new to manuals. Car in question is a 95' Firebird Coupe, v6 3.4 5 speed manual. Thank you, fast responses welcomed!!!

Put it down the dipstick tube.. I dunno, lol I've not learned a whole lot about transmissions but eh, I don't think that will hurt anything.

there is a fill plug on the side

you can use a pump to get it back in

I'm pretty sure they're the same but on my 98 m5 theres a drain and fill plug, the fill being the one higher up, all you have to do is take a 3/8 drive wrench remove it and either find a bottle that will fit up there or use a pump from an auto part store and fill it untill it reaches the bottom of the plug, make sure the car can be level and then your all done

you can also fill m5's through where the shifter mounts if you want
