Answer
Lee,
Not really familiar with this model, but most automatic transmissions do not have a drain or fill plug.  In order to change the oil, usually the transmission pan needs to be removed to drain the oil and change the filter.  The oil is replaced by filling the transmission through the dipstick tube.
Many transmission shops can do a complete flush and change of oil with a transmission flushing device.  With this unit, the cooling lines are disconnected from the radiator/transmission cooler and hooked up to a pump that pumps new oil into the transmission which flushes out the old oil at the same time.  This flush system helps clean the transmission while changing the oil.
