I just did my 85. The drain bolt is there. Turn the engine slowly & watch for the plug. I think I used a 32mm socket on the crank nut. Whatever the exact tool, procedure was obvious. Be careful not to over fill the fluid. It expands when hot so should read a little low when cold. Measure with engine running, trans in park, car on level ground. FSM warns to be very clean to the point of resisting urge to wipe fluid with a rag.
