This time when I removed the fill tube, there was a small stream of overflow, but I just put the fill plug in as fast as I could. Went for a drive and it was shifting smoothly again.

I guess there are some nooks and crannies inside that don't get filled up until you drive, so be aware that you may have to recheck the level and top up.
I've been on the fence whether to DIY or have someone else do it, but your post really makes a good case for DIY.
