Default Transmission Fluid Fill Plug

I just went through a real ordeal when I changed the transmission fluid in my newer Jeep, the main fill plug was a nightmare. I see pictures of the fill plug on the Corvette, but they don't really tell me how hard it is to remove the plug. Is it relatively accessible and easy to remove?

Edit- It's an auto if that matters.

I answered my own question. I saw a Youtube video and the fill plug is easily accessible.

I had a bunch of small stuff done at an independent shop once, that told me when I went to pick up the car they didn't change the transmission fluid because they could not find the drain plug. WTFO? It's 2020 something. How can a professional not know that YouTube knows all and tells all?

Good question! It's highly likely long threads exist on almost any subject. Moreover, AI specifically trained on automotive data will soon be another major tool.

Consider yourself lucky. At least they didn't try to do something they were unfamiliar with, and then caused problems...........
