Torque Converter

Is there a drain plug on the torque converter that is accessible?
Going to do a 2nd flush @ 117500 miles.

If you do a full flush by the Gibbons Method you will flush most of the old fluid

No - you drain it via the autobox drain - but only about 3L will come out each time you drain - hence the Gibbons method or serial fill and dump method. Jules

If you flush and let’s assume it had never been done before and no leaks, I’d suggest re-filling what you’ve drained by MASS, not by volume.

Will help you if you’re concerned about the correct level as this transmission needs level set at around 60degC fluid temperature per the procedure.
