Either pull the drain plug for a second then put it back in or find a way to suck some out through the dipstick tube.

The drain plug is in the bottom if the transmission. I use a 15/16's wrench.

Made me think for a second....then I remembered....probably a GM tranny.

I couldn't believe it when I changed the fluid in my S80, and realized it was a 4t60e GM Transmission.
