The torque converter does have a drain plug and the engine has to be turned using a ratchet and socket on the crankshaft pulley bolt. Remove the steel piece between the supports, remove the screen at the bottom of the bellhousing and remove the bolt to drain the converter. Be careful with the trans drain bolt, it may be frozen. You may want to suction the oil out and then remove the pan to change the filter.
