Help - Automatic Transmission

I did something ridiculously stupid. I own a 2007 MCS automatic and I went to change the engine oil and I inadvertently drained the automatic transmission. I can not find a dip stick nor a filler tube. The vehicle has 20K miles on it and it has been almost perfect since new. How do you change the fluid? How do you refill the fluid? and what type of fluid do you use? The car is parked in my garage and if necessary I can have it towed to a dealer which is over 100 miles away. I live in Sahuarita, AZ and my email address is herrzeus@gmail.com. Can anyone help?
Thanks
Bill

Should post this in the 2nd generation forum I think. Check out this DIY oil change thread where the owner inadvertently drained the transmission fluid as well. Looks like wzabrouski gave you what you needed for a 1st gen.

The DIY Oil Change Thread that Lacnong74 mentioned above begins with the error of draining a manual transmission, the Automatic Drain Error starts at post 295 and runs through post 327.
