Default Torque converter plug?

Does anybody know if my 2000 Focus wagon has a drain plug on the torque converter. I plan to drop the pan and change the filter instead of having it "pumped". Thanks.

Most converters haven't had drain plugs since the 60's/70's. If it does it would be on the side facing the engine and you could access it through the starter hole but you would need a bottom plate removed to drain it right ( or a hole in the bottom of the block plate) or else you'd have a mess.

You can drain some more by cranking the engine (not starting).
