Pour the same amount of fresh in through the filler tube. Depending on the start condition, do 5-6 litres. Go for a drive, check levels, do more if necessary.

This is how I did a complete fluid change on my box a while back. The radiator had broken and water was getting into the transmission. I just used a piece of 8mmID silicone hose and screwed that (the metal thread on the top of the radiator will cut in nicely to the hose) on and had a friend watch the fill jug while I kept my hand on the key.
It's a laborious task but I was getting quotes of £600 to get it done at a shop. I put 25 litres though it before it started to run cherry red again.
