Did you unbolt the 4 bolts holding the torque converter to the flexplate?

JJ's civic

no how do i get to them? isn't the torque converter sandwish between the motor and tranny newbie question?

bigD

there is also a bolt on the starter you need to remove if im thinking right.

JJ's civic

yea i'm going to try that now. i know i didn't do that but then it should just fall apart hopefully.

i just look at my new tranny and the starter bolts don't go though the tranny to the motor?

it's been awhile but i'm pretty sure u have to unbolt the torque converter from the flexplate... there should be and little opening right where the oil pan and the transmission meets...us an 19mm socket to turn the crank...you should see the bolts that you have to take off...good luck

UPDATE!!!!

i got the tranny out i used a framing hammer and a 2x2 piece of wood to sprate a little then use a screwdriver to sprate move then i used my blaa joint puller forky thing to seprate urther more then i just gave it a tug on the other side to free the other pin and she drop right out.( i just had to lift the car a little more to drag the frucking thing out [it's really [freak]ing heavy])
