Some sealed five-speeds did have a torque converter drain; the 722.622 in my '98 S420 does. Changing the fluid is much easier than it was on the .315 in my old 300D. More expensive, too, as you need fancy oil, a fancy dipstick "tool" (priced accordingly), an infrared thermometer, and a new tamperproof lock for the dipstick tube. Mine is at 149k miles and works perfectly. I sure hope these things are good for more than 150k miles.
