Answer
There is a bolt with a square cavity in it that faces towards the right side of the car on the drain pan for the transmission fluid.
I have been able to unscrew it with a ratchet wrench that does NOT have a bolt thingee (ie. 1/2" 3/4" etc) on it. I just use the square fitting of the ratchet wrench to fit in there.
Slowly loosen it (it will take a few turns to get it out) with a drain pan below and to the right side. When bolt is nearly all the way out, one can remove with fingers. Make sure not to drop the bolt in the pan, and be prepared for fluid to shoot out a few inches, especially when the transmission fluid dipstick is removed (helps fluid drain faster).
Wait 10-15 minutes for all fluid to drain out, and then replace with same amount of fluid that came out.
Draining should probably done with engine warm, but not too hot or the risk of burning oneself is greater.
After draining, finger tighten bolt, and use ratchet wrench's square fitting to tighten secure.
