I have drained and refilled so many THM 400 transmissions it isn't funny.
I drill a hole in the bottom of the torque converter to fit a 1/4" plug. The plug has a square INset not a square tower sticking up. It takes overnight to fully drain the converter. You need a drill correct for the 1/4" tap. Use teflon tape to seal the plug tight.

I prefer genuine GM filters over Fraud I mean Fram.
