Tansmission Drain Plug Torque ???

Location
Alaska
How's everybody doing ? Does anyone know the torque spec for the transmission drain plug ? After checking all the diy for trans fluid changing I think I"ll forget the cooler hose route and just drain the pan. I can get under there without a jack, one bolt, drain, refill, and boom. Taking off the cooler hose doesn't get all the old stuff out so I might as well drain and refill 2 or 3 times and call it good. No belly pan bother. No squirting hoses. I'm betting the dealer doesn't want to tell people to drive for 50 miles or so then come back for another drain. For us DIY'ers it seems the safest and fastest way to do it. Thanks, William
 
Hi,
I also think the oilchange procedure is a bit over the top.
Just drain it and fill it up with fresh oil again seems like the same result.
Anyway, if found the bolt torque in the manual:

34Nm - 25ft-lb

Greetz.
