Might be helpful for people in the future to know what you did to rectify the issue.

Disconnect at the hoses and carefully lower it down to a catch pan to contain the mess. Put new back in place then pump fluid into the unit through 1 of the hoses. Once all back together bring up to temp and check fluid level to top it off. All together you will probably need about 1/2 quart of ZF ATF fluid.

At least that is what is did when I pulled the engine / trans to do the timing chains.

Thank you for your reply man did to ucb fluid came out or not that much?

I really did not lose much fluid from the transmission or open lines when I removed it. But I knew that I was going to lose the volume of the cooler which is why I filled it before hand. Once I got it back attached and up to temp I did not lose any fluid from the fill plug which is why I topped it off at the fill plug.

Well i barely lost any fluid tbh it was quite easy to replace.
