How do you locate the filler and drain plug for the transmission on a Mitsubishi galant?

If an auto transaxle, the filler tube is on the left side of the engine (from front) tust under the battery tray, down close to the fenderwell. It has a a pull-out dipstick. The dain plug is under the engine on the back side of the t-a housing. If a manual t-a, the filler and drain plugs are both on the bottom side of the t-a housing. The lower point is the drain and the upper plug is the filler. A squeeze-type container will be required to fill if an electric or pump-type is ot available.
