That's the kind of info I'm looking for! In the past I've had to remove only manual transmissions. I didn't realize I had to separate anything in there...
In light of the fact that I'll have to put the torque converter back on the replacement unit, will I have to do anything special to assure that the shaft lines up properly during reassembly? I never had to use any of those special pilot tools when replacing clutch discs, although supposedly you can't get the transmission back on without one. Does a similar principle apply to torque converters?
