Changing the manual tranny fluid on my 92 SE

I have a couple questions about changing the gear oil on my 92SE. Looking at the FSM, the picture depicting the filler plug is vague at best. I got under the car and checked it out, but there doesn't seem to be a clear choice for the drain plug. Can someone describe its location for me, or take a picture? The other question is that, not having dealt with high weight lubricants before (75W+), I was wondering if the old fluid is going to come out easily, or if I have to get it really hot and then drain it immediately. Will I need an extra qt of new fluid to "push" any remaining fluid from the casing? Thanks for any advice.

I own a Chilton's and a FSM. Both use the same vague illustration I have scanned and attached below:



I was just wondering if someone who has done this already can clarify which bolt that is, since there are half a dozen in that general area.

Those pictures are correct. Once you get down there, you will see it. The fill plug is the only one that looks like that. It's fits a 1/2" drive wrench
