S-65 AMG
is there a torque converter drain in a 07 S65?

I am going to flush the trans fluid on my new-to-me 2007 S65. WIS says in the procedure to remove the plug and drain the torque converter. I thought these transmissions got rid of the torque converter plug long before this though.

I would like to avoid turning the engine over by hand from underneath the car looking for a plug that isn't there .... but if it does have the plug I want to drain what is in the converter as I am going from the original fluid (presumably) 236.10, to the new spec 236.14 and would like as much of the same type as possible.

Any help or confirmation would be appreciated. This is the V12TT with the 722.6 5-speed transmission.

Sorry, you're right, the 722.6 torque convertor drain was removed several years.

Another terrible MB decision, IMHO.

By the way, the V12 is surprisingly easy to turn over.

I wouldn't even worry about using newer fluid. I suspect -14 is lower viscosity.
