Transmission drain location?

Anyone have a pic to show me a location of where we are able to drain our transmission fluids out??

I looked this past weekend and I could not find it for the life of me.

thanks for the input guys.

There is no drain plug. You have to remove the pan, lower it down, pour it out. Many drill a hole and install a plug the first time they drop the pan.

Or go with a bigger aftermarket pan with a drain plug.

And you will only get about 1/4 to 1/3 of the fluid out. You will not get what is in the line to the radiator or what is in the torque convertor. Also the thing in the pan is not something you need to be worried about. It is a plug that is put in the dip stick hole and pushed in when the vehicle is assembled and the dip stick put in.

To change all of the fluid you could use this method:
