Tranny oil change help

Quick question. If any one can post pics that would be great. The tech site is down so I can't get a diagram of it online. I've found the drain plugs quite easily from underneath. Problem is I'm not seeing the fill plugs? I'm only changing out the tranny fluid not the transaxle case. Can someone give me detailed directions to the fill plug? Is it easy to see from above the engine bay? Much appreciated for any help. The stock jack doesn't get the car up that much. Hard for me to squeeze under there and my 3 ton jack isn't working quite right.

the fill plug is a 17mm plug that looks like the oil fill and it is located about 6 inches above and slightly toward the front of the car. It is only visible from under the car. if you look upward it should be in-line with the edge of the plastic shroud and upward on the side of the tranny facing the drivers side..

Hope that helps..

Duh! Ok, I found the fill plug. I looked over it a hundred times thinking it might be it but kept saying no way it's too low. It's almost as low as the drain plug. Now I'm having a hell of a time finding some hose to fill it up. Why couldn't they have put something up top dabgumbit! I'll have it figured out soon.

Thanks
