Theres no factory drain plug , only a fill plug.
I donno how the others do , but I flushed mine when I welded the diff (opened the tranny) , usually people installs their DIY drain plug when the case is opened.

I guess ill get to installing a drain plug later....for now Ill go to oil can henrys and get it serviced. I just bought this 92 and I cant find any fluid in the tranny at all. I opened the fill plug and couldnt feel any so I put a piece of hose in there and it came out dry. Weird considering the tranny seems to work just fine.

Drain Plug
Jedhead,
Your plug is probably way to big. I used the 1/8 pipe plug called for in the instructions and the fluid just pours out.
However, what ever you do, at least install something for a drain. The transmission loves a fluid change. They do require the level to be at the fill plug or you will need new bearings at the least.
If you choose to disregard fluid recommendations on this board and add a generic brand of ATF you should add a friction modifier available from Ford.
As an aside I remember an article about a GM six speed being rebuilt. The owner had installed Mobil 1 synthetic ATF and when they drained the transmission there was about a cup of ATF left in it. Everyone was amazed that there was little or no damage.

The plug I used have a plug within the plug. I can drain my fluid without touching the plug that is phyically in the transmission.
