Assuming (of course) that you have TCP/IP installed, I found it exactly where you looked:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\netTrans\0005 (for me)

It was in the 0005 folder (not the underlying TCP/IP folders)...in other words I didn't explode the folders underneath 0005...it was right there.
Yours will of course vary from 0005 depending upon your system.

To add to Alpha-Male's answer, here is a snippet from Technet article q158474:
"The entries in this section must be added to the following registry key, where n represents the particular TCP/IP-to-network adapter binding.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\netTrans\000 n
MaxMTU = 16-bit integer
Data Type: String

This specifies the maximum size datagram IP that can pass to a media driver. SNAP and source routing headers (if used on the media) are not included in this value. For example, on an Ethernet network, MaxMTU will default to 1500. The actual value used will be the minimum of the value specified with this parameter and the size reported by the media driver. The default is the size reported by the media driver. "

hope this helps
