Where is the transmission drain plug on a 1982 ford Full size bronco?

The transmission drain plug location on a 1982 Ford Bronco depends on which transmission it has. Ford Broncos of that year could have either a C6 (three-speed automatic) or a manual transmission (various types possible). There's no single answer without knowing the transmission type.

To find the drain plug, you'll need to:

1. Identify your transmission: Look for a tag on the transmission itself (often on the side). This tag will identify the transmission type (e.g., C6, T-18, etc.). You can also check your owner's manual if you have it.

2. Locate the transmission: It's located towards the rear of the vehicle, between the engine and the rear axle. It's a large, somewhat rectangular casting.

3. Once you know the transmission type, consult a repair manual specific to your Bronco's year and transmission. A repair manual (Haynes or Chilton are common brands) will have diagrams showing the exact location of the drain plug, as well as other important information for servicing your transmission. Searching online for "[Your Transmission Type] drain plug location" along with "1982 Ford Bronco" might also yield helpful images.

Important Note: Working under a vehicle can be dangerous. Always support the vehicle securely on jack stands, never rely solely on a jack. Wear safety glasses and gloves.
