How do you drain automatic transmition fluid?

Question:
I recently brought a 1985 Nissin Bluebird and it has a bad lack of accelerating power. I don't know if it's related but the transmition fluid reads above the high level when the engine is cold, how do you drain it?

Some auto transmissions have a drain plug but most require you to remove the bottom pan...It gets messy unless you have the car up where you can get a large pan under the tranney....this gives access to the filter if yours has one...as well.

Unless you are a pretty good mechanic I would suggest you go to an automatic transmission shop and let them do it. They have the equipment to do it with properly.

You should check the fluid when its hot with the engine running in Park. Fluid always shows high when the car is not running.

check your owners manual. Even though the dip-stick has a cold label (because they are pretty much generic), you may have to measure it hot to get an accurate reading.
The drain plug is at the bottom of the transmission.

Don't read the oil level when it is cold. It will give you an unreliable reading. Transmission oil should always be checked when it is hot. Run the vehicle around town for 15 or 20 minutes, then pull over and check the transmission oil level with the engine running. Transmission oil is drained only by dropping the transmission oil pan. When you do, always change the filter. All in all, everyone should change transmission oil and filters every 20,000 miles or so. Most folks never do, though.
