Hey, where's this damn thing? I can't find it anywhere .. is it near the front under the car, or is it near the oil plug and oil filter? Which direction of the tranny is it located?

Thanks,

if you are facing the front of the car, the tranny is on the right hand side. its on the bottom. don't forget to disconnect the hose that connects the oil cooler to the transaxle

You know, I missed it the first time I did my ATF change too. It's because the plug is not your normal plug you are used to seeing. It's a very big (I think 21mm) plug and very thin (like 1/8" to 3/16" thick), and nothing like the motor oil drainplug. It's on the bottom still so just jack the car way up and look all around the bottom of the tranny. It's there. Also, there's a lip of metal surrounding the plug that goes like 2/3 around the plug. Good luck and if you need a reference on how to change your ATF, I also wrote up a tutorial in the main page under the 8G section here https://www.thegalantcenter.com ('https://www.thegalantcenter.com')
