Need help asap!

The trans has a very specific method of topping off. It involves running the engine and shifting in and out of drive as it's filled up. I think there's a sticky on it, or it's in the RAVE, and maybe even user manual. Mine took 10 full quarts to fill after letting it drain for 3 days. Yours will vary.
Hold each gear for about 5 sec.
Then after you reach first do back to park stopping in each gear for a few sec.
Leave the engine running, check fluid level, add if needed.
No need to go through the gears again, you do it the first time to get the fluid to all of the valve's.
Always start by not adding how much you think you actually need, then slowly add more as needed.
Keep in mind it takes several minutes for the fluid to run down the walls of the dipstick tube and get into the trans so you will get a false reading if you check the fluid level to quickly after adding fluid.
