You'll have to drop the pan since transmissions do not include a drain plug. You should replace the filter while you have it down and make sure that you have a replacment gasket. Clean the pan well before you put it all back together, and follow the instructions on the gasket/filter box. It isn't a difficult process, just messy.
I would add a aftermarket drain plug to the pan to ease the messiness the answered noted. They are available at most automotive parts stores under the B&M, Help, or sometimes found where they have aftermarket transmission cooler kits.

Where is transmission filter on a 1988 accord lxi?
i dont think there is one just a drain and fill. if there is a spring and ball in the drain pay attention to how they come out. i blew my trainy by not putting them in right. Honda Accords do not have transmission fluid filters. That is why they recommend changing the transmission fluid so often. If you can change your own oil, you can change the transmission fluid - it is easy.
How do you change Hyundai XG350 transmission fluid?
If you need to change the transmission fluid in your Hyundai XG350, it's best to have a trained, certified technician perform the service for you. However, if you want to attempt to change the fluid on your own, you first remove the drain plug, allow the fluid to drain completely, replace the plug, and add the new fluid in the dipstick hole.
How do you change the transmission fluid on a 1998 Toyota Camry?
Run the car until it reaches operating temperatures. Turn off the engine. Jack up your car. Remove the transmission drain bolt which you can find in the transmission fluid pan. Make sure you do not spill the fluid. Use a special oil collecting pan. Be careful the fluid maybe very warm. After that wait until all fluid drains out. Remove the transmission fluid pan to change the transmission filter (you should change it every time you change the fluid). Wash it brake part cleaner or something like that. Remove all sand and dirt around the place. Install a new filter, and a new transmission fluid pan gasket (usually sales together with the filter). Install the pan make sure that you don't overtighten the bolts. Install the drainage bolt. Refill the transmission with required amount of the fluid (do not overfill). You can refill the fluid through the dipstick access ports, you will need a funnel. Also not many people know that the differential has it's own amount of the fluid which must replaced together with transmission fluid. The same fluid should be used for both. Remove the drainage bolt which you can find at the bottom of the differential. Drain out all fluid. Install the drainage bolt. Remove the refill bolt (it's better if you do it before you drain out the fluid). You will have to have a special refilling sirange. Using the sirange refill the differential. To make it properly your car must on a flat surface, or should be parallel to the surface even if you jack it up. There is a positive feature with the differential. If you have installed/leveled the car properly, you cannot overfill it. When it's too much of fluid it will start to drip down (collecting pan must be used). Wait until all excessive fluid make its way out. And install the refilling bolt.
How many quarts of fluid are required to refill the transmission of a 1996 Nissan Maxima GXE after changing the gasket and filter?
Hello ..... I done know if you have already removed the transmission pan from the car or not. Typically, you drain all the oil out into a large (very large) container/pan. Once you start taking the bolts off that hold the pan, you will get even more fluid coming out (very messy). Take what fluid you finally get out of the transmission and measure it. It may be 4-5 quarts +/-.. That's how you really know.. Remember, the actual transmission itself holds about 10-12 quarts total but the majority is in the Torgue Converter. If you want to remove ALL, you really need to go to a transmission shop where they basically either use the transmission pump to drain the oil while using the other end of the intake line to "pick up" fresh fluid..or their own pump/drain machine.. Hope it helps
