Whats up guys? I have a quick question… Im trying to remove the aod out of a 91 foxbody, im about half way… starter, fluids, exhaust and linkages have been removed my question is, torque converter bolts , can i remove those after the tranny is removed or do i have to do it before? their a pain in the ass with hand tools, and im probably gonna need a 2nd person to hold the crank so it wont move to get proper leverage… Any advice is good… :stick: ---

Elbow grease and a pry bar. take the plugs out if need be. I did 2 of mine in the 85 I had. simple common tools and patience. If i remember correct, The TQ bolts are easily accessible. ---

you can remove the torque converter after the trans is out of the car. or at least you can on a 95 ---

you can leave converter on but you will rip the seal when you do that. you will have to unbolt it at some point anyways i say just fight it now and will make life easier later ---

sounds like a plan… THANKS GUYS! time to lay on my back in a water covered garage:eek3: ok… Is it possible for a near stock 5.0l to twist a driveshaft? i was starting to undo the tc bolts… and i look back, and notice the driveshaft is completely twisted and bent, sitting on top of the passenger side h-pipe…looks like the splines wouldve been brought about an 1" -2.5"s out of the back of the tranny… is this possible any other way? like if i twisted the crankshaft the wrong way even if it was in park or neutrol? Im completely befuddled… :eek2: ---
