99 sport 4.0 sohc
I have a 99 sport with 53,000 miles on the auto trans, don't know when the fluid was changed last, I know I need mercon 5 but I want to get as much of the old fluid out. I was wondering if there was a drain plug on the Torque Converter when I pull the trans pan and change the trans filter
 






It would be best for u to take your X to a mechanic and have the tranny flushed.That would eliminate the need for a new filter and get all the old fluid out.I have mine flushed every 30,000 miles and my tranny has been trouble free for 120,000 miles!Good luck!
 






Drain plug

Sorry, no drain plug on your torque converter.
 






I am probably going to change the filter I had dirt on the dip stick the other day when I checked it, but probably going to flush it when I am at work this weekend
