You add transmission fluid through the dipstick tube. If memory serves me right and that is the 3.0 L motor, tube is on the left side at the firewall. Dipstick should have a "yellow" grip on it. Check the fluid level prior to adding fluid for adding too much fluid can do damage to transmission. You check fluid with engine running. Fluid should be within the "crosshatch" markings on the stick for proper level. You will need a long transmission funnel in order to get it in the small hole for that is the only one for adding fluid :o) Hope this gives you a helping hand in the task.

SOURCE: How do you add transmission fluid?
If this is for a 2002 and up explorer with the 4.6, there isn't a dipstick. It is a complicated deal. The vehicle has to be running much like the old ones, but a plug must be removed from the pan. Behind the plug is a upwards tube that you, believe it or not, squirt oil up into until it runs generously back at you. then it is full.
Crazy huh?
SOURCE: Can I replace the transmission fluid in a 2001
Of course you can, in any vehicule either automatic or manual, you can replace the transmission oil easily. The only thing to be sure is to have a new filter and gasket ready to replace the old ones if you have an automatic, and with a manual you usually just drain it and fill it back up since there is usually no filter or pan. And in any case, you need to know just how much oil has to go in it too so that you don't over fill and cause damage, or underfill and also cause damage. If you have no idea how much oil you need, just call up your local dealer, garage or parts store and by telling them what year and model car you have, they will be able to tell you just how much oil you need. Be sure to ask them also what TYPE of oil you need, as it's not the same oil in manual or automatic, and also even in an automatic, most fords need a special type oil, and there are also a few other models like some mitsubishis and BMW and Mercedes and the like which also sometimes need special oils.

If you have no leaks dont worry about it. Just get it serviced if its time. Alot of cars are this way now. You need to be under the car to drain and fill. My BMW is this way

SOURCE: where does the transmission fluid go in my 2002
Do you know where the dipstick for the transmission is? I assume you do if you know you need to add it. That is where the fluid goes. Stick a small funnel in the hole after taking dipstick out and pour the fluid. Remember don't overfill. Transmission fluid gets bigger when heated so always check when transmission is warm. Hope I could be of some help.
