There is a drain plug in the transmission pan.
Filter is internal and does not need service. There is a drain plug on the bottom of the trans. case for fluid drain. Refill thru dipstick tube.

I have a 1998 Mercury Mystique LS automatic w/ a 2.5 liter V6 and it takes Mercon V transmission fluid. I'm not certain if it is the same for you, you should probably consult your owners manual.
Motorcraft MERCON automatic transmission fluid for the automatic and 5 speed manual transaxles according to the owners manual
On a 1996 Mercury Mystique : The brake fluid reservoir is also the clutch fluid reservoir
take plug out and drain the fluid plug found behind drivers side wheel
Just like all automatic transmission cars, remove the oil pan.
It does not have a drain plug. You have to remove the transmission pan from the bottom of the transmission to drain the fluid.
There is none for an automatic transmission. You will have to drop (take off) the transmission fluid pan to drain it.
According to a transmission mechanic I talked to some cars keep most of the fluid in the transmission. The fluid has to be pumped out and new pumped in at same time. Not sure if this was baloney or the truth since he was trying to sell his $149 transmission fluid flush.
The easy way is to go to a marine supply house and purchase an engine oil suction pump.The hard way is to drop the transmission oil pan. If you do this you can change the minimal filter that is present. This is not recommended unless you have a lift and the proper tools including a transmission drain pan.
