You have to remove the sheetmetal cover on the face of the tranny bell housing, held on with 3 or 4 screws. You access the drain plug throught the flywheel. It will be beside one of the torque convertor bolts.

Yes they do, but I think they are on the outer edge of the TQ and you get to it through the plug in the bottom of the bell housing. I heard that sometime in the early 2000's they didn't omited the drain plug.

Mine has a rubber plug in the bottom of the bell housing to access the plug in the convertor.
