All I can do is flush it out the hard way. Thanks for your reply. Oh, it's a 95 SL320.[/QUOTE]
The link above will take you to photos and descriptions of the 5mm drain plug in the 722.5 transmission and torque converter. One of the photos shows the access means to get to the drain and the bit required to remove and reinstall the plug. While not the easiest thing to get to, removing the converter plug will allow pre-filtered (read black as hell) fluid to drain. Good luck
