Where is the drain plug located on transmission for a 2005 Chrysler sebring 2.7 v6 engine?

The 2005 Chrysler Sebring 2.7L V6 doesn't have a drain plug on the transmission itself in the traditional sense. These transmissions (typically automatics in that year) use a different method for fluid changes. There is no easily accessible bolt to drain the fluid.

Instead, a transmission fluid change usually involves:

* Dropping the transmission pan: This requires removing the pan underneath the transmission to access the fluid within. The pan itself has a gasket, and you'll likely need a new gasket when reinstalling it.

* Using a transmission fluid exchanger: This machine flushes out the old fluid and replaces it with new fluid, often a more complete fluid exchange than simply draining and refilling from the pan. This is the preferred method by many mechanics.

Therefore, there's no drain plug to look for on the transmission case. If you're planning a transmission fluid change, consult a repair manual specific to your vehicle's year and model, or take it to a qualified mechanic. Attempting this without the proper knowledge and tools can lead to damage.
