Tried searching without much luck. Does anyone know if it's possible to change the toque converter in a C5 by just removing the torque tube and leaving everything else in place or does the transmission have to be lowered like it's coming out?

 

Unfortunately, you have to remove the rear cradle with suspension and trans/diff to replace the converter. You can leave the torque tube in though.

It's rather involved.

That's what I was afraid of. Had tried looking things up in Alldata and GM SI, and both showed the trans being removed. Was hoping it would be as simple as just supporting the engine and removing the torque tube/rear bellhousing to access the converter since that's all that we are replacing.

 

Nothing is simple on a corvette it's easy if u know how to use impact guns it'll be a 2-3 he job with another knowledgeable person.
