MT fluid change
Ok 2 times now I went to change my tranny fluid and I cannot find the drain plug or the fill plug. I've looked at the maximadriver how to's and the picture shown looks like nothing under my car. I bought a haynes manual and all they say is "take off the drain plug until oil is out. Put it back in. Now take off fill plug fill the MT fluid up and reinstall fill plug. No pictures or anything. If you can help I'd appreciate it.

I had a problem getting the drain plug out, so I too used the shifter sensor to drain the trannie.
oh and where he says "Once you pull the sensor out of the tranny box, the fluid flows out freely"
he REALLY does mean it will flow freely!!
I had about 1 qt of trannie fluid on my garage floor as it missed the oil drain pan when it gushed out.
