You don't need a "fitting" really, you just need a small-diameter plastic tube (they have rolls of it at hardware stores, buy a few sizes), to stick into the fill hole, and a way to adapt that small-diameter tube to your fluid pump (e.g. using some slightly-larger silicone hose that fits over it snugly or whatever).

The the thing that forces most to the dealer is the temperature issue, because only the dealer can read the official internal temperature of the TCM. Be sure to read up in the service manual about it. You can approximate it with an IR thermo though, details here:
