The tranny has a drain plug on the bottom, and a fill plug on the side. Use something like 75w-90 gear oil, or synthetic.
The grinding sound is probably a bearing in the trans. If it continues after the oil change, have a 'trusted' tranny shop listen to it and give their opinion/quote$$.

Same 2 type plugs on the rear end (diff). I use Amsoil synthetic gear oil, but you can use the same as for tranny.

I ALWAYS change all the fluids when I get a vehicle. I want to see how bad the old looks, and know that I am starting out new. If you see a silvery look to the old diff or tranny oil, that is metal, and you might need a rebuild. Although, I have seen many that lasted for several more years with new oil.

can i find the fill plug and drain plug on the tsrm.
