Hi James,
Just out of curiosity, what was the condition/colour of the old trans fluid when you drained it? For me, the old fluid looked really bad - it was black like used engine oil.
I found the fill point very troublesome because the twin exhaust pipes ran past that general area. When I was doing up the fill plug, I managed to accidentally brush my hand against the hot exhaust pipe a few times. Ouch!!  I'd be interested to know if you had the same challenges. 
What fluid did you end up putting into your auto trans? My 2004 is the GM 5 speed auto, so I put in Dexron VI.
