Where is the transmission drain plug located on a Pontiac Grand Prix GT?

The transmission drain plug on a Pontiac Grand Prix GT (assuming you mean the automatic transmission) is located on the bottom of the transmission case. However, there's no single, universally precise location. Its exact position varies slightly depending on the year of your Grand Prix GT and the specific transmission type (e.g., 4T65-E, 4T60-E).

To find it:

1. Consult your owner's manual: This is the best resource, as it will show a diagram of your specific vehicle's transmission and the location of the drain plug.

2. Look underneath the car: Position yourself under the vehicle, safely supported (on jack stands, never just a jack). The transmission is generally located towards the rear of the engine compartment, and the drain plug will be on the bottom of the transmission case, likely a bolt. It might be magnetic.

3. Look for a bolt that is likely to be a drain plug: It may be slightly lower than other bolts and it might have a slightly different size or shape than other nearby bolts.

Important safety note: Before working under your car, make sure it is securely supported on jack stands. Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Wear safety glasses and gloves. Transmission fluid is hot when drained. Use appropriate draining tools and containers.
