Frenchy, I thought our pans had no drain. I could be wrong, but I think you have to lower the whole pan. I have been thinking of doing that as well and changing both filters in the tranny at the same time, so hope I am wrong.

Right, brain fart on my part. Can't help you on that one, then. What does the shop manual say?

Shop manual says very little about the plug. Besides that it drains the oil.

Check the bottom side of the trans...dahur...

Frenchy, if you look where your tranny bolts together(the clutch housing and transmission case housing bolt together), there should be a plug a couple of inches in front of there on the bottom of the trans to drain it. The discription in the parts manual just says Plug, screw. Item #2 on page 237 of the parts manual, if you find it.
