To drain the transmission oil, remove all bolts except for one in each corner of the pan. Some fluid might begin to drizzle out. Next take turns in backing out each of the bolts about one or two turns. After you do this a couple of times, the pan should start to drop down. If it has not, then pry the pan down but, be careful not to damage the transmission housing. Once most of the fluid has drained, remove the two bolts at the rear corners. This will drop the pan at an angle and allow for more fluid to drain. Then remove the last two bolts from the remaining corners. (Do worry, next time you drain the fluid it will be a breeze with the drain plug!)
Next remove the transmission filter. (It's a good idea to get a new filter along with the gasket.) Clean the pan and housing along the gasket surface. Drill the hole for the plug bolt in the transmission pan. Insert the bolt and attach the nut using Red Loctite 271 to keep it from loosening. I did not use the white plastic washer supplied with the drain plug kit. Instead I used some blue silicon to keep it from leaking. The Loctite goes on the threads and the silicon on the flat side of the bolt. Once tightened, insert the brass plug very loosely into the bolt and set the pan aside.
