Manual Trans Drain

I read the stickies, I performed a few searches- but I cannot seem to find a picture of a 2000/2001 Manual Transmission. I want to switch over to Redline MT-90, however I cant seem to find the drain.. I see the fill about halfway up, but how can I Drain it.... I am a bit leery of going through the sensor.

the drain plug is about 3 inches below the fill plug

This is true for the 6-speed, and it's pretty easy to access. From what I've seen about the 95-01 5 speeds though, it can be a little bit of a pain. Here is a write-up with pics that I found in the stickies of the fluid and lubricants section.
