Default 2007 transmission overflow plug

I have searched all over the transmission and cannot find the fill plug (labeled WS or otherwise) for the life of me. I have looked everywhere the other threads say it is located. Anyone else do a drain and fill on a 2007? Thanks, Scott

Someone just asked the same question several threads down. It's on the passenger side. The head is about 1" in diameter. Here's the same pic from other thread. Best way to see it is lay under truck lengthwise with your head towards front and legs toward rear. Look up and back towards rear in general location using this pic as reference. You'll see it.

I will look again tonight. Does it have to be labeled WS? Thanks.

I think so. If yours is 07, it's WS. Did mine several months ago.

I don't think the drain plug itself will be labelled "WS", just the fluid you should be using to refill.

Default Filler plug size.

Can someone tell me if the overflow plug is a torq or hex and what size? I tried a T40 and i feel like its going to strip. Thx.

It's not a torx, it's a 5mm hex.

The fill plug is on passenger side transmission extension housing, a 24mm socket and no extension will get it out. (the plug is directly above the trans crossmember, hard to see).

Both are detailed in my trans flush thread:
