Manuel transaxle drain plug location?

[Jeremy_steven10]

I was wanting to flush and drain my transaxle, and refill with fresh synchromesh oil. But the dealerships say that'll cost me $150, so if I can find the drain plug, I'd like to change myself. Been looking online for hours, to no avail. Is there a drain plug? Or do I syphon it out?

How about posting the year of your Sunfire.
here is a video from a caviler that may help.

I have not found anything online for your year car, however the video I provided you be the same as yours or similar.

If not you will have to get a service manual. chiltons can be found at your library or picked up anywhere cheap.
