You unscrew the plug on the bottom, and let it drain. Then you fill the fluid on the side where there is another plug. NOT the temp sensor plug. You will need a 10$ pump from autozone to pump in the fluid. Add until it starts to leak out. Have the car level and flat

Remove the fill plug first, then the drain plug.

Is the car a six speed or a four speed auto?

Procedures are quite different.
