In answer to your question, the M47's fill hole is slightly lower than it should be to allow fluid to completely lubricate the upper bearings in the gearbox. If you only fill to the level of the hole, the bearings do not get adequate lubrication and don't have as long a life as the properly lubricated ones. By jacking up the fill hole side of the car as high as possible, you are able to overfill the case and lubricate those upper bearings completely.
