Pull the transmission and change it. The torque converter is inside the bell housing on the front of the transmission. Only way to get it out is to pull the transmission.

What is the Difference in 1979 f150 and 1979 f100?

as far as i know, the f100 is not made in the usa and the f150 is made in the usa.for example in Australia it is f100, there is no such thing as f150 over there The above is incorrect for the model year in the question 75 through 83?? or so the f100 and f150 were both available and made in USA. The difference was mostly in the rear suspension. The F150 was sprung for a heavier payload. The F150 idea was originally used to bump the 1/2 ton truck up in GVWR enough to exempt it from Catalytic Converter requirements in '75.

Where is the transmission drain plug on a 1987 Ford F150?

The tranny pan itself my not have a drain plug. The torque converters on fords have a drain plug and can be found in the front of the transmission where the torque converter resides. You can find this plug by turning the engine with a rachet on the crank or by gently turning the key without starting the engine. This will rotate the converter and youll find the drain plug. but to drain all the fluid you will also need to just drop the pan.
