There's a drain plug...it's actually easier to spot than the fill hole since
it's at the bottom (of course).

Make sure you can remove the fill plug _before_ you can remove the drain plug.
Nothing worse than not being able to move because of a drained tranny that you
can't refill.

Get the 17mm (I think) drain plug tool from the Bus Depot...it's worth it, IMHO.
