I have seen those in Wal Mart. BUT, for the tranny fluid, might I recommend what I have to do with the Ranger for it's tranny fluid.
In the parts stores, they have a pump with 2 VERY long (4 feet) rubber hoses. Get a gallon of tranny fluid (cheaper, too).
Put the outlet of the pump into the fill hole, the threads will hold the hose pretty well.
Now, you can just put the suction line into the gallon, and pump her up till it's full.
Takes me about 10 minutes to change mine now, instead of a half hour.

Some of the automotive stores sell a pump that will screw into gallon jugs. I use one of these for my ATF and another for axle/diff grease. I cut a small hole in the top of the jug so I can stick the end of the hose back in when I am finished filling things up. Depending on the size and configuration of the gallon can/jug I cut another bigger plastic jug down to fit over the whole unit as a dust cover. Cat litter jugs work good for this purpose.

or you can disconect one of your tranny lines and start her up about 10 min and there should be no oil left in tranny or the old fahsoined way crawl under it and unbolt the oil pan on tranny that way wou can change the filter too
p.s. just kidding about starting it up and bleeding it out , not good for your clutch packs

Actually that is a good method as long as the tranny is in neutral. Many professional mechanics use that method. It has been discussed here before and you may be able to find detailed instructions using the search function.
Basics are:
Run engine in N, drain until it bubbles, Shut engine off, add two quarts, Start engine and drain again until it bubbles, Shut engine off, re-connect the cooling lines with an inline filter, refill system, start engine and top the system off, run transmission thu the gears several times, re-check level, -done.

Could pull the shifter out and pour it in that way. Though it is a lot more work - but thats how I did it last time.
