Or...go to your local transmission shop and ask them for a tailshaft plug
(they come with just about every reman transmission).

I don't know if anything is available for this trans in particular,
but there is a tool you can buy for a couple of bucks, just a plug
that you basically jam in there to stop the flow of ATF. For example:

You might also be able to scrounge something together out of common
household items, maybe using a small bottle, or balling up a shop
towel inside of a plastic bag might do the trick?
