try c5 tech section
imo let a local garage or dealer ship do it
and dont forget the tranny fluid is synthetic
my mechanic hasn't serviced his c5 tranny for about 70,000 miles he said it is synthetic it should last till atleast 100,000 but make your own decision
gm only charges about 160.00 for a flush and fill

Pretty sure the fill plug IS the drain plug, meaning you need to suck it out of there. OR drop the pan.

the fill and drain plug cannot be the same because the drain plug is at the bottom of the pan
