Default transmission drain plug

Where is the drain plug for the transmission on my 98 Ultra? I've looked all over the case, can't find it. Help please.

Look on the right side of the bike by the oil pan under the trany put a mirror under the oil pan You should see a drain plug approx 2 in back where the clutch cable goes into the trany Same size as the oil drain plug

On my 99 Softail, the drain plug is on the bottom side on the right side cover. Takes a #27 torx if I remember right.

Can you take a picture? this same question has been killing me for the past 2 weeks. It's facing out, not down, right?? and it's right in between two other bolts or screws?

Let me just say...my freakin' service manual, and the dealership's manual is incorrect for my bike(??)

on a 1998 road king it is on:
right side/throttle side
bottom
about an inch forward of frame cross brace
screws in from bottom/vertical bolt
bolt has same head size as oil drain plug
It strips really easy.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN
IT STRIPS REALLY EASY.
Metal bolt enters aluminum pan, very little pressure in pan so no need to over tighten.
hand tight and maybe quarter turn.
