it's next to the firewall on your right side if you are facing the car (left side of the engine). your view is obstructed by the intake manifold.

you change the transmission fluid by removing the old oil first.

there is a 6mm hex drain plug on the torque converter and transmission oil pan.

use ATF oil.
