removing 4l60e in a 98 camaro
I'm pressed for time. Would like to get done in 4 hours or less. Here's everything I've gathered.
Disconnect battery
Remove torque arm
Remove driveshaft
Remove starter
Remove shifter linkage
Unhook sensors
Take flywheel cover off and remove 3 allen headed bolts.
Jack trans up with plywood
Take off x member
Lower trans
3 or 4 ft extensions on a impact wrench for the top two bolts
6 other bolts.
Pop off engine a couple inches
Lower.
Remove old torque converter
Fill new converter with new fluid and install make sure it clicks twice
Reverse order
What size allen heads? What atf fluid? Also draining trans. And changing filter. How many quarts? 5?
What size bellhousing?
Any tips tricks?
Think I have everything covered on my first converter install?
How important is a cooler? Will the cheapie at advanced auto for 20 work? How do I hook that up?

i believe the allen head bolts are 7mm. make sure you have a good tight fit and a breaker bar to break them loose. Otherwise everything you have mentioned sounds good. a cooler is very important...do not skimp on this. Im not sure about what size the 20 dollar one is but i doubt its big enough. I would go for the biggest one they have which i know isnt very big in size but it will get the job done.
