torque converter install
In a nutshell:
- Remove the torque converter's bolts that attach it to the flex-plate.
- Remove the transmission fluid lines from the trans.
- Disconnect the shift/TV linkage.
- Disconnect the drive-shaft.
- Remove the rear mounting bolts.
- Remove the bell-housing bolts.
- Slide the thing back with the torque converter still in the bell-housing . . ..
To expose the flex-plate.
I figure your flex-plate is cracked/broken around and in those webs.
In this image, I've got a stock/OEM 1st gen flexplate nested in a later/newer flex-plate. You can see that the newer one is much thicker.
