To the best of my knowledge, yes there should be. Removing the rubber plug in the bottom of the bell housing should allow you access to the plug in the converter. My '92 has a square head plug. You may ned to tap the key or rotate the converter by hand til it lines up with the hole in the bell housing.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 28-Oct-02 AT 12:19 PM (EST)]If you drain the pan and the torque converter, you will need between 16 and 17 quarts of fluid. Both of mine took right at 16 quarts.

The trans pump refills the TC on its own. Just add ATF to the dipstick tube. When about 1/3 to 1/2 of the total amount is added, start it and run it in PARK only, for about half a minute. Then shut it down and add the rest.
