2.  Lock parking/emergency brake and ensure vehicle is in PARK.
3.  Using an allen wrench or socket remove the fill plug on front of transmission.  It is closer to the passenger side front facing portion of transmission pan.

NOTES:
As you should already know, the exhuast will be hot and the cat. converters will be hot, becareful not to get burned.
You may want to put a catch can under the fill plug as fluid will likely come out, but if you don't care to make a mess then ignore this.
To check the fluid on this transmission you leave it in park, DO NOT PUT TRANSMISSION INTO GEAR TO CHECK THE FLUID!
