Maybe this master class from Missfixit70 will help you.

There aint one! The ideal would be to remove the transmission fluid by means of a Pela pump, then undo the holding bolts so as repair/replace the gasket. In the absence of a Pelaa pump be prepared for a cascade of fluid as you undo the bolts.
the level of the fluid is above the gasket when it is up to the mark on the dipstick.

I've seen drain plugs on some 1999 models. Looking at the sump from the N/S side, it's on the N/S rear of the sump.
