Pardon?

Thats the first time I've done that.


How do we know what you have and have not done?

Have you taken the three bolts out of the torque converter drive plate to split it from the torque converter itself?

You will need the casting off the bottom of the block which covers the back of the sump to access these.
Also have a good look round to see if there is any wiring or pipes that you have forgotten to disconnect.

And finally PLEASE STOP SHOUTING!, this is a forum not a text so there is no limit on how many characters can be entered in a post, no need for text speak.

If all the gearbox bellhousing bolts are out than it should come out without removing the 3 torque converter bolts.

The torque converter will just stay attached to the engine.
