Hello Sunil,
I use a large flat blade screw driver and turn the engine by wedgeing the
screwdriver in the hole next to the one the TC drain plug will appear and
work the engine around - making sure to turn the engine in its normal
direction od travel. Clockwise when viewed standing in front of the car and
looking toward the radiator IIRC.
Good luck - BTW, do me a favor - when you remove the TC plug, look so see if
it has a alum washer on the plug please.
There's some smaller openings you;ll see near a large opening on the bottom
of the torque converter housing - the plug will appear
in the larger opening. Use the smaller openings to wedge the screwdriver
in - and pry the TC around.
Sincerely,

Subject: [MBZ] draining torque converter
I'm draining the ATF out of my 300D and changing the ATF filter. How do
you
turn the engine to line up the drain bolt on the TC?
In my 84 300D, I could work a huge socket (22mm) onto the crankshaft and
turn it by hand. Now, there's a fan shroud in the way, at the minimum.
Is
there an easier way to turn the engine?
Also, since I can't start the car right now, which way does the engine
turn?
