Speaking of adding the transmission fluid inside the passenger compartment through the transmission hump hole, if yours is like my 53, you have in the hole first steel mesh looking like part of a kitchen potscrubber steel wool pad (minus the soap, of course), and then underneath that a circular mesh filter placed in the hole. First remove the steel mesh. Then remove the circular mesh filter from the hole using a tweezer. If you remove them both, transmission fluid will go in a lot faster. My experience with my car. Hope that helps!

Edit: Don't forget to put both back in after you are done adding fluid.
