The guys on the board had me check my AT pan. If there's a drain plug, like the one on an oil pan, then it's most likely been dealer replaced under warranty. If there's no drain plug on the ATF pan, then most likely you still have your old factory one.
Replaced or original? Here is a pic of mine:

Replaced, as drain plug is right there, in corner of pan!!!

Drain that sucker into a clean drain pan and examine fluid color and turbidity, measure amount drained and refill with new Mobil 1 ATF-should be around 3 quarts

Does the drain plug being there only apply to the 90-93 or later as well.

Only earlier. It is standard on the later.
