In step 8 of the FCPeuro manual, it also doesn’t say you should turn off your engine(nor it explicitely says to keep it running, that’s true, but it was already on). 8g talkes about the all important tc filling step, but that only holds if you keep it on.

I don’t believe you already damaged your transmission. With too little oil it wont shift and with a small delta there will be longterm effects. Just finish what you’ve started and have a lesson learned. You’re not the first, when I wanted to do ‘just’ an oil level check on my 6HP, it also came gushing out (forgot to turn on engine) and I had to fill it again (2L).
