There is no drain plug. The trans is drained when the pan is removed. When you do it, loosten all bolts aprox 1/4" from pan. Then select a corner or the pan and remove the bolts completely. Pry down on the pan at that point so the fluid runs out on that side only and not everywhere.

Let me know if you have other questions.

Chances are no. If it is staying in one gear, it sounds like it is in limp mode. Has the check engine light come on?
