Remove the rear wheels and raise the car. Place the wheels under the car for safety. You want to support it under the body in front of the rear wheels with jack stands. Note: Ignore the stand in the middle in this picture.
Remove the plastic undertray from below the car. 5 10mm bolts.
Drain the tranny fluid.
