I think he left out the word 'tube.'  It goes into a threaded fitting on the
left side of the pan.  It is fairly convenient for draining the fluid before
dropping the pan, cleaning the screen and replacing the gasket.  IIRC
correctly I paid about $11usd for an auto tranny filter kit with a new screen
and gasket form the Bus Depot.  A separtae gasket cost something in the
neighborhood of $4usd -- not really what I call expensive in the context of a
healthy tranny.


Last time I changed the fluid in mine I drained it, dropped the pan and let
it sit for quite a while before reinstalling everything and refilling it.  I
put in right at 4 quarts of ATF.
