I was curious so I read the card that came with my converter. From Yank it says "We do not recomend any kind of synthetic fluid" It says to use name brand Dex 3 or type F. If thats what they recomend then thats whats going in. Iv never used synthetic trans fluid anyway.

You're right that getting the tranny off those dowel pins is one of the toughest parts of the job. Even on lift with a tranny jack, we really had to struggle with it. I really have to hand it to you guys who do it on your back with the car on jack stands. It's hard to imagine how you get enough leverage to budge it. It's a bear.

looks like fun. My transmission did not want to come out either. Spraying your pin holes with somem wd or pb blaster will get it to slide right out alot easier.

I ended up getting the good stuff. The tech at GM said there is no more dex3 its all dex 6 now.
Bye bye old flexplate
Im glad im taking it out because theres actually at least 3 cracks in the teeth above each screw. IDK if you can see them.
That looks better!
Stock TC came out pretty easy
It has some weight to it thats for sure
3 clicks! Very very easy and all 3 clicks happened in about 10 seconds on just turning it clock wise pushing in at the same time.
And inbetween 1 1/16 and 1 1/8 perfect.

Time to get this slug back up there.
Teflon tape on the cooler line fittings.
This dipstick tube really fucked me today
I really fought with this thing. I had to keep shimming it higher. If the car wasnt so high and jack wasnt in the way I could have benchpressed it by the pan no problem.
