Just wondering where the plugs are. Can't seem to see them real clearly under the Jeep, and there is a big plate in the way on the bottom of the tranny. Do I have to remove this to drain the tranny? What side are the plugs on? The owners manual is not real clear......

Even the haynes manual aint clear, I should do it on mine to. When you guys tell me where it is, I will change the fluids.

well, it was easier than i thought. the drain plug is on one side, and the fill on the other. there is a diagram in the owners manual on the orientation. follow it and you will be ok. smooth sailing now!

If you don't want to drop the skidplate (or your bolts are sticky), use a short length of hose in the drain hole to direct the fluid into your drainpan.

changing trany fluid is no sweat. theres a fill plug on the passenger side. just pop the floor plug out and run a flexible tube attached to a funnel through the floor on the passenger side into the open fill hole. at the bottom of the trany theres a single bolt. pop that out to drain the oil. i put almost 4 quarts in. (only took 1 out)
