So, dumb question, i have seen descriptions for the out drive to be all the way up or all the way down when checking fluid level At the pump. Not sure which way. Maybe its different for different years?

Makes no difference, fluid is just moved from one side of the piston to the other. You should be able to see the fluid level in the plastic container below the trim pump.
