Is this the bolt to fill up the transaxle?

Where is the bolt to drain it?

How do i tell when its full?

I think there's a plug on the side, you basically just put gear oil in it until it spills out. Unless the transmission oil looks bad, you don't need to change it.

Ok... ill look around.

Is the drain plug a BIG bolt on the bottom?

I'm willing to bet it is, should be about 14mm.

The drain bolt is a 24mm bolt on the very bottom of the transmission case. The fill bolt is on the front side of the transmission about half way up and uses a hex key/driver to remove and replace. When you do this service, its advisable to have the replacement crush washers handy to replace them. When reusing them, they sometimes end up seeping due to having been over compressed and cracking.
