Drop the transmission and dump it out. Otherwise you might be able to take it somewhere and get it flushed....

On my Dad's Uncles Stingray he had someone install a drain plug into the Torque Converter. That way all he had to do was pop the inspection cover on the bottom of the transmission and drain it.

Let it sit on top of a bucket for a day or two. Pump drive side down.

You need to do it once, then take it to a converter shop for a rebuild. If not you're wasting your time.

If it's not a lock up converter you might flush it with mineral spirits.
Still not going to get all the garbage out.

Never ever put any solvent in a lock up converter.
