Under the gearbox. Not hard to remove, but you have to drop the sump so you have the faff of the ATF and gasket.

I'd add that you need to get it up level if doing at home.
Also the refilling is a bit of a chew, adding oil, then starting the engine, then trying to get enough oil in and watching the gearbox oil temp all the time.
I was using a 5L garden water sprayer though. :D
