I pulled my engine and transmission out together today.
My TCI converter has studs on it that barely fit through the flexplate holes...I mean...TIGHT. well, when I went to go seperate the engine and trans, the torque converter stayed bolted to the flexplate and the transmission came off....with some twisting and turning and coaxing.
So, there I sat with my engine and trans seperated and the torque converter still bolted to the fexplate. well, the center shaft on my transmission...i can pull right out with my hand. I can push it back in, fortunately, i cant turn it or anything like that.
Is that center-most shaft on the C4 suppose to slide out like it does? I cant remember if it is suppose to or not. Could anything have been damaged by the torque converter staying bolted to the engine when i seperated it from the trans? What should I look for?
