it's the highest one on the driver's side.

State your car the next time you ask questions so people know what you have..ok?
Thanks.

One hint before draining the trans oil is to first remove the fill plug. This ensures that you can actually fill it and not end up with a trans that does not have oil and no way to fill it. Also, a cheap hand pump works really well since there isn't much room.

^Good tip.
And most chain parts stores carry the hand-pumps for ~ $10 or so.

It may not apply to the FC, but FWIW the FD has one FILL plug and two DRAIN plugs (B and C)...

As for pumps, I use a syringe pump. Cheap and effective, but a little messy as you need to reload it

Great deal on Lincoln Lubrication 615 at ToolTopia.com

Even better
