don't think they have drian plugs for the gear box because they have stupid 'lifetime' oil in them so you will have to take off the bottom of the gear box.

I know that the refill area is a bolt on the top of the box under the battery carrier. Remove that and use a funnel. Unsure on how you drain them though. Should imagine it'll be on the bottom.

Take the diff cover plate off the bttom of the gearbox and all the oil comes out, will probably need a new gasket though.
To refill I use the level hole which is next to the passenger side CV joint, fill it there until the oil is level with the hole or you can fill it where thegsi said.

to drain the gearbox be best to take diff cover off but may need to seal it with new gasket or some sort of oil sealent,easiest way of filling the gearbox is on the top near the clutsh mech theres a nut u can undo this may have a plastic cover on the top so need a box spanner not ring end,before you start filling back up with oil there is a small bolt you will need to take out next to the passenger side drive shaft,filled oil until it starts to trickle out of the hole where the bolt was.hope this helps you out a bit.
