Where is the trans drain plug for a 1995 kia sportage?

I'll be changing the tranny fluid for my mother in law's 1995 kia sportage 5-speed and was wondering if anyone knew where the transmission fluid drain plug was, thanks!|||I take it it's a manual????? The drain plug is on the bottom of the box it should be a size 24mm or 15/16inch the filler plug is on the side of the gear box fill that up until you have fluid coming out. for manual transmission ya wanna use VMX80 or something to that equivalent which is a gear oil. Most commonly used for manual transmissions.|||So far as I know it doesn't have any drain plug , therefore the transmission pan most be removed. Don't forget to use the manufactures recommended fluid and to change the transmission filter , they usually sell kits for that.Plus you should once you've taken the pan off clean the pan and the transmission surfaces that the gasket will have to go on.Later once its driven a few hundred miles retighten the bolts on the pan slightly.


I do suggest if your not sure of doing this type of job or not handy enough etc that you get a shop to do it.It really isn't that hard of a job but be sure you've the proper clearance in order to get the pan off the vehicle before doing the job . Suggest you get a torgue ranch for best results..


Good luck


Best of luck
