Yep, its done with the flush and fill.

Service manual says every 30,000 miles.

Is there a drain on the converter on these? my 95 tbird did, you would just bump the starter until you seen the drain plug bolt from the little hole on the bottom, grab the socket, and take that bad dog out. Drains slow, but you get alot of oil out, I think it took 11 qts to fill, with draining the trans from the pan also.

I dont think there is. there isnt any room to get access to it. i had her on the twin post hoist lift and had a real good look under her. There is a drain plug, that is obvious on the tranny pan but the fill plug looked to be above the pan with no real access to even get a funnel in there.

The drain nut is pointless because you wont get any fluid from the torque converter.

Lol its a real pain in the A$$! here is the service manual:
