I have a 1992 s10 5spd 2wd and I can not find the drain bolt on the transmission I think I found the filling location but I’m not sure on it either as it’s located almost at the top of the trans and is a torx style bolt. Any of you with the same trans that can take a picture and point out these locations? Thanks ---

Do NOT unscrew the Torx bolt! It is NOT the fill plug. I think you have a T5 transmission so the fill and drain are both on the passengers side, fill is high, drain is low. Likely, 3/8 inch square drive hole. Fits a 3/8ths ratchet or extension. Use ATF. ---

Thanks for the heads up mustang! That must be my issue is that I’ve only looked for it on the drivers side! I will check and let you know I appreciate it! ---

My S10 has a borg warner trans. It’s a fairly large female hex bolt. You need a male hex socket for it. I don’t remember what side it’s on. They sell them at the parts store or harbor freight. ---

A T5 was a Borg Warner trans. They sold to Tremec years ago. Some drains and fills were hex, some were external square plugs. ---

Just crawled under and took a look it’s definitely on the passenger side lol… it has the square ends sticking out not the hex. Thanks for the help ---

Most all domestic rear axles and manual transmissions have for years used NPT-National Pipe Thread plugs that used no gaskets or seal rings and like other pipe thread plugs they had square male or female fittings to remove and install them.
