I had the same problem so I just got a short piece of tubing and stuck it on the tip of the bottle.

this is the oil i use. with the way the bottle is made, filling the transmission is a breeze!!

It is still hard to get it in the tranny because the header sticks out too far, thats why a piece of tubing works wonders when you put it on the end of that bottle.

Another trick I use. Instead of using the weep hole to check the fluid level, I stop when the fluid get to the bottom of the black flange on the crank bolt. You can see it in the pic. Alot less messy. All you need is a flash light to check the level.
