The drain plug is in about the center of the bottom of the case. You'll
need a 24mm wrench or socket.

Re: Transmission fluid change
 

Is this true about using other than Hyundai transmission fluid ? I just had
mine changed by an independent and now I'm worried. Should I go have
Hyundai do it ?

Very true. You don't say what year, so there's a variable. Ask them what
they used, and ask to see the container. If your car's dipstick says SP III,
and the container doesn't say either Hyundai SP III, Kia SK III, or Diamond
(Mitsubishi) SP III, then IT IS THE WRONG STUFF!. If it says it meets
Chrysler 7176 (ATF +3) it's still not the right stuff, but from what several
have said, it's pretty close, and might work OK. If it says Dexron, and they
have made it into a "compatible fluid" with a magic additive, it is causing
damage every time you drive the car. Some even say there's an issue where
it's existance in the transmission is continuously causing damage - running
or not.

If it's not SP III, and the car says SP III on the transmission dipstick, it
needs to be removed (Flushed YESTERDAY if it's "converted" Dexron). If the
dipstick (manual) says SP II, and they used 7176 (ATF +3), then you're OK.
