Trying to DIY

So today was the first time I changed the oil in the Fit by myself, and needless to say it is a satisfying feeling working on my own besides bolt-ons. Everything went without a hitch and now I want to change the coolant and the auto tranny fluid myself. My question is, where is the nut to drain the coolant and the auto tranny fluid at? I looked under the car for sometime but to no avail. It's not as easy as the oil fluid because that one has an arrow pointing it out.

Yes I read the manual but it doesn't show how to drain the coolant and the tranny fluids, just put more of it in. I know I might get flamed for "not looking hard enough" but please, if you are going to flame, you might as well show me where the nuts are at I'll even rep you even if you flame me

Pics would be great! I want to do this tomorrow because it's my day off. I already have my ATF-Dw1 and coolant fluid, I'm all set just need to find those nuts!

yeah you didn't look hard enough. took me 2 seconds. but anyways heres the thread for auto tranny. You probably coudln't find the drain plug cause you were looking for a bolt like the motor oil pan. You have to use a socket.
