This is WRONG.
The Return line does not DRAW fluid back into the tranny. You have to POUR the fluid into the dipstick tube. The return line only connects to an internal tube that directs the oil return flow, to splash on the internal drive chain.
Although I prefer to add fluid through the dipstick hole, the two bucket method works too. I think you waste a little fluid because you can never suck it all out of the bottom of the supply bucket.
