Transmission Fluid Change / Where to jack it up to do so?

Hi...I need help cause I dont feel like bringin in my car to shop for $200 bucks to change the tranny fluid.

I bought a jack and stands and SWEPCO 201 fluid.

What i need to know is WHERE is the right place to jack up the car and HOW HIGH so i can get to the tranny to drain it and put the new stuff in?

Thanks so much for your help.

Photos would be helpful as well!

use 4 jack stands & keep it level; high enuff for you to get under & do it

test it by pushing to make sure it doesn't fall and crush you & put an elevated jack, wood blocks, spare tire etc. there for it to fall on just in case it does fall

+1 AND be sure to loosen the FILL plug first. Use the correct tool(some are socket style and others are nut style).
