Torque converter drain plug?

I have a 02 screw with 5.4 engine.I am changing the trans fluid and am looking for the drain plug for the torque converter.I popped the rubber plug where you can see the teeth of the flywheel and spun engine around with screwdriver while looking for drain screw.Didnt see it,maybe I`m blind.Do I need to look somewhere else?I have the 4r70w trans I believe.

my 2001 has the plug. they stopped putting them in about 2002. If you want more out, you will have to take a line off from the trans to the radiator, and pump it out.

You are free to do as you wish however, I am convinced that the total flush is the way to go.
