hi guys i was just wondering how to remove the torque converter on my 1989 260e. im doing a motor swap and need to transfer that over to my new motor any help would be apreciated thanx.

viewing from the front...the rear of the engine has an access hole, roughly 2" x 3". Maybe even still has its black plastic cover. Rotate engine (in normal direction) to slowly find the 6 bolts holding the converter to the engine flexplate/ring gear. Its possible to bump the starter to do this but a pain, even with a remote switch. Once these are out, and all the other "stuff" is disconnected, out (or off) comes the trans.
