big bolt on the front. 15/16 IIRC, or 24mm. Fill til it comes out.

That's for the V6 engine. The I4 is on the top next to the middle of the firewall. Find your speedo cable, and follow it down. The speedo cable hooks to the filler, where you fill the tranny fluid.

Ah, you're right. I've been out of the 4 cyl game too long. Fill it via the speedometer sensor like 2fazed said.
