In the order I do it in.

This is the fill Plug, Unscrew that first ..

Drain Port/sensor, This is where the speedo sensor is, unscrew that using a 10mm socket and "GENTLY" pull it out "SLOWLY" b/c there's a lot of oil on the other side and its eager to come out

This is what the speedo sensor looks like.

Now this is the kicker. Since I got my factory Air Box removed, I use a funnell with a long pipeing and refill the oil from the top. B4 When I had my car stock I had a Pump that I had purchased from pep boys for like $5 and I use to fill it from the bottom. it takes about 4 1/4 Qts of oil. but the best way to tell when its full is it starts to leak out of the fill hole. Good luck guys.

You know your not supose to remove that SPEEDO sensor out. There is a drain hole on that transmission already there for you. It is right next to the shift linkage on that side. LOL, oh well

Russ I'm not sure about the drain plug but I know the tranny sensor on the 2K is not the same as the 4th gen. the 4th Gen had teeth behind the sensor, the 2K is just a electronic switch. O well. thats how I've always done it.
