Glad to see there's a recent thread on this, hope I'm not hijacking too much. I just pulled a motor at the junkyard today to be rebuilt, and for the love of god cannot figure out how to remove the torque converter from the engine. I got the trans out seperate, and then pulled the engine.
I thought the TC was splined and would have just come right out when I removed the 4 belhousing bolts. After loosening it, moving it back about an inch, and then spending about 2 hours shifting, cussing, prying, cussing, and pulling, I realized there was no way it would just slide off with the trans.
The motor is now sitting outside the vehicle, TC still attached. Where do I go from here?
