Many automatic transmission do not have drain plugs. You drain the ATF by removing the Transmission Fluid pan. If you are changing the ATF, you should pull the pan anyway, to replace the ATF filter. You will also need a new pan gasket.
If there is an ATF drain plug, it will be located in the transmission fluid pan, on the bottom of the transmission.
Backside of the transmission
You have to remove the pan if there is no drain plug
How do you check the transmission fluid level on 1999 jetta GLS?
I have a 99 jetta, and you are unable to check the transmission fluid on your own. You will have to take it to a service station where they will check it for you for free.
under the bottom of the transmission remove the pan.
The trans does not have a drain plug.
It takes automatic transmission fluid.It takes automatic transmission fluid.
In the bottom of the transmission pan.
Not from the factory , only if someone has added a drain plug in the transmission pan
yes
If it has an automatic transmission, then yes. If it has a manual transmission, then usually, no.
This question gets asked at least monthly on this forum. This answer is from my owner's manual: Manual transmission: 3.7 US quarts, Automatic: 9.8 US quarts You didn't ask how much a drain and refill for an automatic takes, and that is about 4 quarts. Do this every year using the drain plug on the driver's side of the transmission and it will greatly extend the life of the unit. --Ken
