Ensure that the transmission is taken straight out in relation to the engine.

Ensure that the torque converter is removed with the transmission and does not slide off the stator shaft. Press a screwdriver through one of the screw holes in the carrier plate.

NOTE:

Do not pry toward the carrier plate rim for the flywheel sensor.

NOTE:

Lower the transmission slightly when it is being removed so that it will go past the side member.

Remove the transmission.
