Pull the bolts from your transmission pan. I usually start by taking the ones completely out across the front, then drop the ones down the sides a little and slide a container under it to catch the fluid. Then start removing the ones across the back of the pan. This is when the fluid usually start to come out from the front where the bolts are completely removed. Then I slowly remove the bolts along the sides starting from the front, letting it drain. This kind of keeps the fluid from coming out from all sides.
