Dumb question but did you unbolt the converter from the flexplate?

Make sure you got all of the bolts. I know it sounds pretty remedial but There are a few hidden ones that are tucked in there. The first time I dropped my tranny, I did the same thing and i just missed 1 bolt.

Then again, I dont know what your experience is.

Mine was hung up on the dowel pins, is there an easier way to pull them if they are hanging up on the dowel pins? Just incase I gotta pull another one anytime soon.

I Usually spray some penetrating oil on everything a few days prior to diassembling and put some anti seize on the dowel pins when reassembling. Seems to work well!:thumb:
