thru the fill hole, it wont be a top off tho. If you pulled the axle the trans drained itselg

Do I have enough room to tip the bottle or do I need a hose

Negative. The tranny won't drain itself if everything is in good condition. It will seep or trickle out on a manual. The autos seem to behave differently.
You can swap out axles and only lose a small amount of fluid.

Op: Go to Harbor Freight or w/e your cheapest store is with auto stuff. Get the fluid pump that screws onto bottles. Then, just remove the fill plug and pump it in until it's full. Have the car level and stop when it starts coming out.
If it's brown, I would just change it all out since it's only 3 qts and you can get some good stuff for 7-10 bucks/qt.

I was just there

I love Menards, too. I bought brake cleaner for 2.49/can and r134 for 5 bucks/can! 4 bottle pack of the gourmet root beer for 2.50! I'm spending so much money, I'm losing my mind!

hmmm my 6speed will pretty much drain itself of fluid when I remove the axels. Always has

Gush out or just a trickle? It would take a long time to drain the tranny when I've done it.
