#2184 of 2410 95 monte carlo torque converter? by citoboy_7 Sep 22, 2007 (9:19 pm)
Hey guys, i'm working on a 95 monte carlo w the 3.4 eng, and i've dropped the trans (along with all the suspension, if anybody's worked on one of these u know what i mean) to change the input shaft seal that's begun to leak. Anybody know how 2 get that blasted robins egg blue torque converter?   Thanx   -Aaron- Replies to this message: 0patience (Sep 23, 2007 9:10 am)

I've already got the suspension (along with the trans) dropped. I just can't seem to get the torque converter off! I'm kinda baffled, i haven't come accross a torque convertor that takes more than a few good tugs to get it off! I used to own a lumina, so i bought the book (lumina/monte carlo) but i cant seem to find it. Any advice/info? Thanx   -Aaron-

Replying to: greg503 (Mar 25, 2007 9:16 am) Did you ever get any help with this problem? I have a 1998 Escort SE SOHC and the part number for that sensor is F32Z7F040A.

sorry, didn't mean to sound like an A-hole, was just kinda puzzled. Still haven't gotten that blasted torque converter off. Somebody on another forum mentioned i might be dealing with a damaged pump bushing that could also be the cause of the leaking. Anybody got any idea how i should get that booger off? I tied a rope to the 3 bolts, made a knot in the middle, tied it to another rope with a loop, and gave it a few good yanks on the rope with a sledge hammer. O.o it's really stuck on there!

Replying to: citoboy_7 (Sep 23, 2007 9:34 pm) I'd suggest stopping at a friendly trans shop that's willing to say if they're had trouble with that model's torque converter removal and if there's a quirk or a unique way to remove it. Any downhome shop will have worked on many of the same trans and in my area most will take 60 seconds to tell you how to do it.   They realize the goodwill of helping me do something means the big or bad jobs come to their shop without question.
