well, for manual trans heres what I know:
You have two plugs, one for draining and one for filling. The draining plug is obviosly close to the bottom of the trans, to allow the old oil to flow out. The fill plug is up higher. You only have to fill the trans with enough oil to it reaches the bottom of the fill plug hole. No more. The only way I can think to do this is to get some tubing and a funnel and to slowly fill from the engine bay.

now davi, if you cracked open your fill plug and had fluid running out, you'd do best to let that oil run out. You shouldn't have that much in there. (I know this because when I worked at Lubepro's, I cracked the fill plug on this BMW, and trans oil sprayed everywhere. My boss said I actually did him a favor.)
