Thats rubbish. There is a fill plug at the back end of the transmission. You need to put your car on jack stands and it has to be level. Fill it up, start the car and continue to fill the gearbox until the oil starts to come back out the fill plug. wait for the oil to stop dripping out and put the filler plug back in. Turn the engine off, put car back on the ground and your done.
