Well, I'm new to the rotary engie, but I did this about two weks ago. I just cut a two foot piece off of a old water hose and stuck a funnel in the top of it. Worked like a charm. I'm sure someone else has a beter method.

People say to use a cap full or two but I just poured a little in, didn't really measure. and to turn the engine I put a socket on the bolt that holds the power steering pulley on and turned it clockwise. (just make sure to put a rag or some type of insulation over the positive battery terminal if there is none there to begin with so you don't short it out with your ratchet, don't ask how I found this out)

well being in Japan I just go to the 100yen shop and buy a kitchen squirter thingy like for ketchup and so on. Put the ATF in and squirt it through the plug hole. Then put at 19 mil wrench on the "crank" pulley and turn it over.

I went to a pet store and got one of the syringe things they use to feed baby cats and dogs. the tip is long and flexible so it works perfect. im usally to lazy to find a socket to turn the rotors,so i just pull my PS belt and it turns quiet easily.

Haven't used it yet, but bought a syringe type measurer sold at Auto Zone for getting right mixture of oil in two cycle engines. Looked like right size to get right amount of ATF to plugs.

The best thing for getting ATF in the engine, is use a baby snot/ flem sucker. It works great and anyone who has had a kid probadly has tons of them, no longer used!

there should be SOMEthing at the local parts store. I used a marine oiler or something like that.. something to oil something on the boats. It attaches to the ATF bottle (screws right on) and pumps right in. It's great.

I don't exactly 'member what the UIM on a 13BT looks like, but see if there isn't a vacuum nipple up there you can disconnect and dump it directly in there. The 13B-REW has a big nipple on the UIM for the brake booster vacuum line....I just disconnect the hose, and pour the ATF in there, and it rolls down the manifold into the comubstion chamber. You'll have to use a bit more than normal tho, since you're leaving some behind on the inside of the manifold. I've done it twice, worked both times....easier by far than pulling the plugs, espescially on the 'REW.
I suppose you could also dip the vacuum hose into the bottle and let it suck it out....but you prolly don't have enough compression for that if you're ATFing.
