w126 300sel- Torque Converter Drain

[Gito]

1988 w126 300sel
Trying to get access to the torque converter drain plug.
When standing in front of my car (looking at my engine), I will turn the crankshaft clockwise, correct?

I'd like to hear MORe about this little gift from the engineers. To drain the converter you have to move the crankshaft? Is there a drain hole in the converter you have to line up?

Yes, sorry for leaving out details on what I have done already.

Removed the oil pan and oil filter.

I need to line up the torque converter drain plug with the opening located in the bell housing.

Got it, clockwise...
Just lined it up and drain it...
