Changing tranny fluid
If your torque converter has a drain plug, you can empty it thru the hole in the bottom of the bellhousing with the rubber plug, but be sure to get as much fluid back in as you can before you start the engine & top it off. If the impeller vanes slap the surface of the fluid before the TC refills, they could be damaged.
A better way I've found is to leave the fluid in the TC and then change it again in ~1000 miles.

I'm not sure what tranny you have, but Mark Kovalsky's Tech Article might be worth taking a look at:
