Drain Torque Convertor

You can either unbolt the torque convertor and remove with the transmission or leave it connected to the engine and remove the transmission first. You take a chance on the converter falling off the shaft when you pull it with the transmission. Sometimes you don't have a choice because the converter can be temporarily hung up on the transmission. There are 2 tangs on the convertor and over time their will be slots wore into the tangs...I usually remove the transmission and leave the torque convertor bolted to the engine. Then I drain the torque convertor(small allen head bolt drain) and then I remove it from the engine. Their is a small removable door at the bottom of the bell housing. Then as you rotate the engine clockwise you will see a pair of bolts, remove them and rotate the engine and complete the removal of the other bolts. Good luck Jim
