you have the vehicle raised up and level, you remove the pan to get all the fluid out

you re-install the pan and add some fluid, run it through the gears, and warm up the trans to 30-50°C (86-122°F)

you then with the trans in park and the engine running at idle, pull out the fluid level check plug on the pan and fill the trans till fluid just starts to run out of the plug,, the trans is now full

the vehicle needs to be level and the trans at the correct operating temp
