Bottom of the tranny..Just like the Oil pan..THere is a Bolt that drains the fluid.
I can't remember the size...But if you look uinder there..It should be pretty obvious.

Take a peek and see if you figure it out..If not..I will snap a pic of it for you.

Hey there Niko, here is the link to the write up on the tranny fluid change. http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123692757&highlight=fluid+change

Good Luck with it bredrin! If i was closer I would lend a hand but I have to go further north to visit the family and cut some ham. By the way I just did the redline mt-90 fluid, it is a good option if you have the ability to get some.

Also I forgot to tell you that upon my visit to the dealership this morning they were using a carquest fluid pump on the bottle of tranny fluid.
