This unit has a fill plug in the side much like a standard transmission has. Start the car and allow to idle then pull the plug and add fluid until it runs out then reinstall the plug. Here is a guide to show you how below.

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Cheers

You need to check the fluid level under the car. There is a 11mm bolt on the side of the trans axle. Start the vehicle and see if fluid comes out. If it dont, pour trans fluid in the top of the under the exhaust manifold pipe.
