Does "sudo killall transmission-daemon" kill the process, if so you could use that.
Ref:
-p --pidfile pid-file
Save the daemon's process ID in pid-file
If you start the daemon using -p, you could perhaps stop it by deleting the pid.
Otherwise you could look if other distros made an init.d file to control transmission daemon that you could use/copy/modify
