The ATF temp should be around 30C or below. If you have it fill up you don't need to add any more ATF at this point.
Now monitor the ATF temp and observe the ATF dripping out of the fill port.
Once the ATF reach 35C put the fill plug in. The trans should be at the correct level.

I will definitely try this but do you think it would make a difference? I am reading the expansion of transmission oil with heat is around 0.07% increase in volume per degree C for atf oil. That means if you have 10qts of oil at 30C, you will have appx 10.49qts at 100C. Would that really create such delay?
Thanks,
