there arent any pics there for me to see where is what? does anyone have one with pics?

 

I'm pretty sure that you can't see either plug from the top.

Take off bottom sound insulator.
Located drain plug about 1 foot right of oil drain plug.
Fill plug is on thefront of transmission (facing toward the front), directly above the the drain plug.
Be on level surface.
Drain oil from transmission.
Fill back up using fill plug until it goes to the top and you can't put anymore in.
A way you can check the level is to put your finger in the fill hole and see if it's there.

It's very easy to do. There's no way to check it from the engine bay as it was designed as a sealed system as it is on most cars with a manual.

 

If its just a matter of checking to see if you're low (and you shouldn't be unless you have a noticable drip), unscrew the plug on the front of the tranny (like mentioned, it faces the front of the car), fluid should be at or near the level of that plug. Make sure the car is on level ground when you do.

If you're going to replace it, make sure you drain the bevel box as well, theres a plug for that facing the pass. side of the car, and its near the pass side axleshaft.
