Default QUICK HELP- Tranny Fluid Change

Hey guys, my car is in the air right now and I'm attempting to change my tranny fluid. I'm pretty sure that the drain whole is right on the bottom of it, that the square end of the ratchet just fits into.. But I'm not seeing the whole on the side where I need to pump in the new fluid. I see this one thing on the drivers side that has " Do not remove" stamped above it.. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Shawn

Thanks for the responses guys.. I kept looking around, and located it on the passenger's side of the tranny, at the top. It's a little hard to see because aCat, O2 extension and part of the tranny mount was blocking it. It looks just like the one on the bottom, and has the word "FILL" stamped a little bit above it.. lol who woulda thunk it.

Oh by the way the "thing" that says do not remove is a reverse idle screw you dont want to take that out unless your doing internal tranny work.[sm=badidea.gif]

Ya thanks, I knew before that there were/are some things on the outside that allow for internal adjustment, so I figured that this was something not to be messed with.
