No, you have to pull the auto trans pan to change the oil/filter. Dont' forget a new gasket when you do it. BTW, many transmission shops will service the trans for near cost, just to get you in the door so they can tell you what's wrong and hope to sell you a transmission repair. If it ran well when you took it in, just have them do the service and tell them that you can't afford a transmission rebuild right now. They'll give you financing options and tell you why you should do it now, but don't. If it's running, just keep driving it and keep the fluids changed.

More specifically

There is no transmission drain plug. You need to remove the transmission pan to change the fluid. It would also be a good idea to change the transmission filter at this time and re-install with a new pan gasket.

hope this helps.

Be careful where you go though shop around a little i went to a tires plus once and they charged me over 300$ to do a filter and fluid change and at the time i was 18 and didnt know better. Got one done today by my trusted mechanic and it was under 100$
