Well I'm in the midst of my swap to 5spd from automatic:
I have the auto trans out of the car at the moment. When i was taking it off, i couldn't get the converter to stick to the trans and had to pull it with the converter still on the back of the crank.
I can wiggle the converter back and forth, but when I try to pull it out, it doesn't come free
Yes, i took all of the converter bolts out.
I have tried to use a prybar and large screwdriver to get it out.
No, it is not crankwalk, the flexplate and crank don't wiggle or move, just the converter
I'm assuming the crank bushing that sits in the crank, that the converter sits in is seized/toast
Has anyone ran into this and has a way they got it off?
