So, if you are going to drain it.........see if you can locate a drain plug on the t/c. There is another member who also failed to find a plug on this vehicle.
If you cannot find the plug, you're forced to flush it. Leaving three quarts of old fluid in the system is not what you want to do.

I have had difficulty in finding the Torque converter drain.....but....I found that it "on my car" is located at a point that is never visible at points where the engine rests......I removed the glow plugs, and only then could I rotate the engine and get the plug at a point where it is visible and removable.....
