it's near the front passenger tire
get a 3/8th ratchet and stick it into the square shaped bolt |

Auto or manual tranny? V-6 or 4-cyl? It matters.

auto/4-cyl

Passenger side like businessmanph said. Make sure to use a long handled ratchet...

bad idea actually, most people use a long rachet and turn it slowly, because the metal to metal contact it's easy to stripe the bolt that way. use a regular size handle and give it a quick blow, one good yank will break it loose |

well...the drain and refill was a complete success...thanks to you guys for helping me out...the lug came out with one great big jolt...i used the regular size ratchet. came out like a champ. looks like the person who owned the car before me had atleast 6 1/2 quarts of tranny fluid in before....but now i drained all that crap out and filled it with 4 quarts of Honda ATF...car runs alot better and shifts silky smooth....
thanks again to all that helped me... |
I used another ATF brand, do you guys think that can be a reason it's shifting hard?

The tranny & torque converter have something like 7 or 8 quarts in there, but only 1/3 or 1/2 of it can drain out. |
