[Clarification Needed]Transmission Fluid Change
So I've been reading around on this forum because I wanted to change my own oil and transmission fluid. Oil change is done and works great, but I'm a tad confused on the plugs for the transmission.
Following Moosetang's "A How To: Changing Manual Transmission Fluid" I got a pretty good grasp on what I'm doing. I've got a 2007 V6 Deluxe Pony Package with a T-5 transmission I believe (I'm a novice, try not to crucify me I'm just trying to be thorough.)
I managed to get a few photos underneath and I have circled what I think are the plugs, can anyone tell me if I'm right or how insanely wrong I am? These pictures are taken from the passenger side as the manual suggest the fill plug is located.
This is the distance image so you can gauge where about I'm looking on the transmission. The oil pan is about where my hand snuck in.
This is a closer picture to show the plugs a little closer.
I would also like to add that I put a 3/8" ratchet in both plugs and it fit. Any help is appreciated! Thank you in advance.

I think if you've reviewed all the info here you will be good to go. You might want to keep in mind that trans fluid will eat into a blacktop driveway big time so if that would be a concern for you take extra care to avoid spills.

Yeah that shouldn't be a problem, I've got a large mouthed catch pan. Thank you for all the help, and will most likely be doing this Monday or Tuesday and will follow up with results!
