Does your TR3 have the dipstick?  TR2's and early TR3's had a dipstick and a 
fill port on the top of the transmission and a rubber plug in the transmission 
tunnel.  At some point that was dropped for the side fill port that was used 
through the end of TR6 production.  Having the top fill port and the hole in 
the transmission tunnel makes hanging a funnel a viable option.  Without it you 
could snake a line from the transmission under the car and up to a funnel 
mounted above the fill line but that much hose would be tediously slow.
