Remove the rubber plug in the trans lower bell housing and rotate the torque converter one full turn , there should be a drain plug on it to drain the converter. It holds quite a bit of trans fluid be prepared to collect it. I believe the refill amount after draining the trans and converter is something like 14-16 qts ATF.
