Drain & Fill Plugs on tranny?

Does anyone have photos of locations of the fill and drain plug on 5 speed tranny?

Don't have pics but it is easy to spot them, not that many plugs. Just make sure you pull the fill plug first. I have seen to many times when someone takes out the drain first and then has a problem with the fill. Not a good situation.
Also, get about two feet of tubing to fill from the top, that is much easyer than trying to fill from the bottem.

Here's a tip......Remove the fill plug FIRST! A friend of mine learned the hard lesson with his Dino, of removing the drain plug first only to find the fill plug wasn't going to come out. Yikes what a pain in the @zz he had.
