The torque converter fluid connections with the rest of the transmission are through the hub. Even if the torque converter could gravity drain through that hub, everything below the hub, basically half the volume of the torque converter, wouldn't drain. Maybe if you stand your car on its rear bumper

If your torque converter has no drain plug, flush the fluid by having the cooling line to the radiator dump into a collection pan then fill fresh fluid through the dipstick tube at the same rate fluid purges with the engine idling.
