Trust me, the stock Bronco converter has no drain. Haven't seen a

years.
You're right. I don't think his Bronco will have a torque converter
drain. Probably the last American cars to have a drain on the torque
converter were some rear wheel drive Fords from about the mid-90's,
maybe just a year or two earlier. I think you can still find a torque
converter drain plug on a mid-90's Mustang if memory serves me right.
(and it quite often doesn't)

GM and Chrysler were even more shy about a drain plug on torque
converters, although a lot of <GOOD> tranny shops would drill out a
hole in the torque converter, tap it for threads, hook up a machine to
flush out the torque conveter while the tranny was being rebuilt, and
when all was done, put a plug back in it. Those days are long gone.

my 95 f150 5.8L e4od had a drain.

I stand corrected. Glad Ford is still spending the extra money to put
the drain in.

my 96 crown has one too, i just changed it today, took around 12L, i
added a L of lucas transmission slip fix too.
