How big is it? All I see is two probably size 7 bolt. Unscrewed one of them but
that's just a long screw. I was assuming the drain plug is much bigger.
I still can't see it. I say a blach vertical pan on the front of the transmission but those are really corroded bolts. Looks like never been removed.
I may post a video see if you guys can spot it :102:

It should be a flat looking screw head near your transmission pan, about 15/16 size socket to unscrew it.

go look at the manual to auto conversion tutorial. There's a picture of the trans with the fluid being drained out of it.

I know you don't. I meant in the tutorial section there is a Automatic transmission to Manual transmission thread that shows where the plug is.
