Usually u would unbolt the four tourque converter bolts and leave the it on the input shaft. It makes it very very hard to remove if u leave the torque converter bolted to the flex plate because the input shaft is so long. So instead of the tranny just having to pop off the dowel pins It has to slide out of the tq as well. Like everyone is saying there's not to much wiggle room under there. Garunteed if u undo the four tq bolts it'll drop right out. I feel your a/t pains lol I just had to man handle the tranny out of my vert this weekend. I'm fuckin hurtin lol. But I'm having the opposite problem I can't get the heavy bitch back in lol
