The drain plug in on the passenger side of the trans the fill plug is on the drivers side both are labeled. Drain it first then fill I usually use a pump to make it easier. You need 4 qrts of fluid fill it till it starts to drip they take about 3 3/4 qrts

I'll try to actually help you bud, please don't reuse that fluid. ATF is CHEAP, dump it and forget about it, no use risking damage to save a buck. If you really want to change your fluid, here is how to do it. It is very very simple.
1. Drain the old transmission fluid. There is a drain plug on the passenger side of the transmission near the bottom. You use a 3/8" ratchet to remove it, just the ratchet (probably with about a 3" extension) and no socket since the plug has a 3/8" square hole.
2. Replace drain plug after the old fluid has drained.
3. Jack up driver's side and remove FILL plug with 3/8" ratchet. This is located on the driver's side about halfway up the transmission and I believe it is labeled "fill plug" next to it. You won't be able to pour anything in here easily, so unless you have a pump keep reading. Leave the plug out, and lower the car.
4. Remove center console, lower shift boot, and shifter assembly. Pour 4 quarts of ATF into where the shifter mounts. You will now notice a stream pouring out of the FILL hole, wait until it stops.
5. Jack up driver's side of car again to replace FILL plug. Lower car, bolt the shifter back on and replace the center console.
fill plug is on drivers side, drain is on passenger side. you can use a funnel to fill through the shifter base, but you'll need a pump if you want to fill through the FILL hole. I think just filling through the shifter hole is easier. You can stick your pinky in the FILL hole to make sure the fluid is right up to it to make sure that it is not low.
don't just guess at "half the pan" because overfilling and underfilling are both dangerous
NOW, before you ask any more questions go look at your car, familiarize yourself with everything I mentioned, think logically through the process and then if you don't understand something still feel free to ask
