The drain plug is on the bottom of tranny and the fill plug is on the side you will need a hose and funnel I was thinking a hose and fit it to the bottle and into the tranny fill till it leaks and gear oil not tranny fluid check Manuel

You can also add trans oil thru the gearshift opening by removing the shifter and then pour slowly in the hple. Its alot better than lying on your back.in the snow!!
