The fill plug is in the side of the transmission. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Cheers

If there is not a drain plug on the transmission pan. Then the only way to drain the fluid is to remove the pan. Be sure to only loosen the bolts most of the way and then just lightly pry it apart from the transmission to let it drain some. Then begin removing bolts at one corner to let it hang and drain. Be sure to get a new gasket for the pan (count how many bolt holes there are to find the correct gasket). You will want to change the filter to while you are in there.
