do you have to unbolt conveter

[Formula Z]

from the flywheel before the tranny comes out or should it come out without unbolting the converter??

if you had a manual i could tell you everything you needed to know, but i dont have a clue about automatics

[iroc85blu]

yes have to unbolt

[MattODoom]

If you left the torque converter bolted up you'd have to somehow pull the transmission straight back to avoid damaging the input shaft... just unbolt it..

yep just un bolt it, it should only be 3 or 4 bolts

yeah just unbolt it, lol. thats the problem, cant get anything on there with enough torque or leverage to bust them loose

When I do it I wedge wood between the flywheel and the trans...

Three bolts, use a open end/box wrench hooked onto another wrench for leverage.
