I'm not sure how best to get this to the right places but..
WalMart sells a $4.96 oil bottle pump intended for marine lower units. Look around the auto center to the place where they have the little bit of marine oils and it will be there. The kits comes with a metal adapter for Yamaha, Honda, Tohatsu, etc. outboards that is the thread size of the TX40 center plug used for checking fluid level on 6 and 8 speed AW transaxles. If you only need to top up and verify that it is full then this is way easier than the air cleaner removal-remove TX55 fill plug-dump in fluid-put it back together so it runs method.

Do you have the link to this tool jimmy57?

Sounds like the TF-80SC transmission?

If so should be posted in another forum for all cars with the TF-80 SC due to it's time saving and simplistic way of fluid change.
