Hi guys I'm looking to change out my tranny oil and I can't find my manual as I have recently moved. Just wondering where the tranny drain plug or hose is located?? Thanks in advance

The drain plug is on the underside of the chaincase. The filler plug is near the top of the chaincase and the lubricant level plug is located near the bottom of the chaincase cover as per the owners manual. Chaincase = primary cover.
