You will most likely have to remove the transmission pan itself to get the fluid out. Very delicate work but take all the bolts out except the 4 corners. Slowly take 1 side of the 4 corner bolts out. then slowly take the other 2 bolts out from the other side. Loosen those last 2 bolts a little at a time changing from 1 to the other. It will be like you are trying to "Pour" the fluid into the drain pan. Depending on the mileage on the car you might as well change the filter as long as you have the pan off. When you buy the filter kit, most of the time it comes with the gasket as well. Messy job if your not careful. Good luck
