Not all 4R70W's have a plug. They discontinued them in late 2001 production, so the OP may or may not have one.

Yes, your converter has a plug, unless it's been replaced with a factory reman. Those don't have plugs.

Actually they stopped installing the drain plug very early in 2002 production, so all 2001 4R70Ws should have one.
