I lay under the car and held the end of the tube into the fill hole on the case and my wife poured the fluid into the funnel as she stood beside the car. Basically, as advised elsewhere, we filled until it overflowed. Then I just re-installed the plug and the job was done.

Now, let's hope that the infernal clicking goes away in the next few hundred miles!!!

Well that will work too.

I took a look at the oil I drained and it looks like there i very fine sand in it. If that is the case I guess that it is coming from the road and that maybe the seal is not in as good a shape as they should be.

Also, if it sand I beleive that it should be just as good to change the oil tomorrow again. It is a matter of getting the sand flushed out and the sooner it is done the better. With about $4 per quart for the Dexron I would rather do it a couple of times instead of waiting 1200-1500 miles.
