There isn't one. There is only a filler plug and it is kind of difficult to get to.

is that easier? i know it can be a pain filling it in the plug i listed but that can easily be fixed using something similar to a grease gun (pulls the fluid in then you spray it in the tranny) or a funnel.

You still open the fill plug to be sure when you're filled up right? coz you're only supposed to fill up to that point, correct?

The drain plug is easy to differentiate from the rest because it is a square hole in the middle of a perfectly rounded bolt. You have to shove a 1/2 drive in there to take it out.

Come on guys, crawl under your car and take a look. There are only two plugs/bolts in the side of the transmission. The lower one is the drain, the upper one is to fill. Pull the bottom one to drain it. When the oil is done running out, put that one back in, and take the upper one out. You need to use a hose probably with a funnel, fill until it starts to run out, a little over 2 quarts.

Edit: Don't fill the transmission using that breather hole on the top of the tranny, you may get too much or too little in there using that. It's a breather, not a filler.

Okay, since I couldnt find any pics anywhere that were decent. I just went by the fact the the fill bolt was a 17mm and started sizing. I used two funnels to fill my fluid back up (to make a bend...I dont have any hose). Worked like a charm. Now my whinig noise is gone, but my tranny is still leaking fluid where the flywheel is. Any suggestions on that?

TIA

Drain bolt is the clean broze bolt and fill bolt is the rusting bolt on the top left side -

actually a 3/8 drive will work,
not everybody has a 1/2 drive anyway

yeah mine was a 3/8 drive, and mine isn't bronze. . but to fill the tranny i used the vent hole located on the top, and when fluid started coming out of the fill hole that your supposed to use, then you have enough fluid.

H22 M2B4 (4th gen LSD JDM tranny).

The drain plug is a Spoon drain plug.
