Homer Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Perhaps a simple question, is the removal of an auto box the same process as that of a manual one (aside from the clutch lines and the loom connectors)? Are there any extra things that need to be considered? Any fluid leaks to watch for and so forth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjy Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Straight forward buddy. Just remove the plate at the bottom of the bell housing and turn the crank to reveal the bolts that hold the torque converter to the drive plate. There will be fluid from the gearbox oil lines and the back of the gearbox (I think...) but once it's drained, leakages will be minimal. If you're refitting the autobox, make sure the torque converter locates on the splined shaft correctly. Usually they "clunk" TWICE into position. If it's not seated correctly, the box won't sit right, it'll pump fluid everywhere and damage stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 Great, thanks Benjy. I'm converting to manual so none the auto install issues. I've removed a manual box from a supra before, but not an auto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 The offer still stands if you need a hand or the loan of the crane I have. Also, I may well be interested in your old box when you are done with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
