<DIV></DIV>I need to go ahead and get started pulling the trans out of this van. I've </P></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>had one suggestion that it may be easier to pull the motor and trans as a
<DIV></DIV>unit, but I'd like to avoid that if at all possible (I don't want to mess with coolant, A/C lines etc). Have any of you guys done this in your garage?
<P>--Yes, I've done that a few times</P>
<DIV></DIV>The main issue seems to be unbolting the torque convertor; the Bentley manual shows a special attachment for loosening the three bolts. Where can I get this? Do I HAVE to have it?
<P>--No, no special tools needed.</P>
<P>&nbsp;Since the torque convertor is the chief suspect in my troubles at this point, any additional information concerning its removal and replacement would be much appreciated. Should I just plan on having a shop do the work? Thanks in advance- </P>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV>--I had my torque converter rebuilt about six months ago, they only take so many cleanings.</DIV>
