Automatic trans fluid and filter change help Please
I am trying to do a trans fluid and filter replacement, I let my 01 sit over night and today I removed the drain plug very little trans fluid came out, I have the car sitting on jack stands and it is level. Should I put the drain plug back in and warm the transmission up then drain it. P.S. before anyone flames me I do not have a owners manual and I also called the dealership they would not help at all.

I used a pick, Sears sells a set that includes straight, 90deg, and curly. The 90deg got the seal out after a lot of wiggling. Go slowly, work around the entire circumference so as not to **** the seal over inside the housing.
I think AutoZone has a seal puller in their Loan-A-Tool bin that might work better/faster.
