If yours is an '88 or earlier, I believe that it accepts a 3/16" square drive. '89 or later is a 12 mm hex. I wouldn't doubt that they changed it sometime in the '88 model year.
IIRRC, the drain is 6 or 8" in front of the end of the transmission. On the '88 trans I have in the garage, it's shaped like a puck, on the trans in my '89 it's conical with a hex indentation.
The first time loosening it is a bear. If you have difficulties with it, you may want to consider using a pipe wrench to grab the edges of the plug.
